Instructions

1. Cook the whole-wheat elbow pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, following package instructions. Drain and set aside in a large mixing bowl.

2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, white miso paste, apple cider vinegar, chili garlic sauce, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, honey, and sesame oil. Mix well until smooth.

3. Gradually add 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water to the peanut-miso mixture, stirring continuously until you achieve a smooth, sauce-like consistency. Adjust the amount of pasta water as needed.

4. Pour half of the peanut-miso sauce over the cooked pasta and toss to coat evenly.

5. Add the sliced scallions, carrot sticks, broccoli florets, and chopped cilantro to the pasta. Pour the remaining peanut-miso sauce over the top and toss again to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more chili garlic sauce for heat or honey for sweetness.

7. Garnish with chopped roasted peanuts and additional cilantro before serving.

8. Serve at room temperature or chilled, as preferred.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili garlic sauce. To make this dish vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup.
