Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and cooking tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any delays while you're cooking.
  • Choose the right noodles: Oriental spaghetti, also known as Shanghai noodles or Saifun, are thin and translucent noodles made from wheat flour. They are a good choice for this recipe because they cook quickly and have a mild flavor that won't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Make sure your vegetables are fresh and crisp: The vegetables in this recipe should be fresh and crisp to provide a nice contrast to the soft noodles and creamy peanut sauce.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Oriental spaghetti cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. They should be cooked until they are just tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Use a good quality peanut butter: The peanut butter is the key ingredient in the spicy peanut sauce, so it's important to use a good quality peanut butter that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Adjust the spiciness of the sauce to your liking: The amount of chili paste you add to the sauce will determine how spicy it is. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

Oriental spaghetti with cucumber and spicy peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The combination of the soft noodles, crisp vegetables, and creamy peanut sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting recipe to try, give this Oriental spaghetti a try. You won't be disappointed!
