Asain Lunch Noodles

If you’re looking to make something new and different for the kids, try making a big batch of fun Asian Lunchbox Noodles. I love them because they are delicious when served cold and can be filled with your kid’s favorite veggies or meat to personalize it just for them.

Fun Asian

Lunchbox Noodles1 pound linguine, cooked
4 tablespoons fresh parsley

Cook your linguine noodles as directed on the packaging. Blend garlic in a food processor until fine. Add soy sauce, oils, vinegar, and brown sugar. Add enough peanut butter to make slightly thick. Blend until smooth. Add to pasta and toss with shredded carrots. If desired, you can top with chopped peanuts, sesame seeds, or grilled chicken strips.
