Today, January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day! Peanut butter is a good source of vitamin E, B6, niacin, calcium, potassium, and iron. It is packed with protein and is rich in healthy monounsaturated fat. Peanut butter is available in smooth, creamy, chunky, or powdered varieties. In addition to the ever-popular peanut butter and jelly sandwich, peanut butter is great in cookies, cakes, pies, and savory dishes.
All Recipes has 16 different dinner ideas using peanut butter. For a simple, inexpensive meal try their Peanut Butter Noodles:
Ingredients
8 ounces Udon or spaghetti noodles
½ cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1 ½ tablespoons minced fresh ginger root
1 ½ tablespoons honey
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 teaspoons hot chili paste (Optional)
¼ cup chopped green onions
¼ cup chopped peanuts
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook noodles in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain.
Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, soy sauce, peanut butter, ginger, honey, garlic, and chili paste in a medium saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until peanut butter melts and sauce is heated through.
Add drained noodles to peanut butter sauce; toss to coat. Garnish with green onions and peanuts.
