Okay, a bit of backstory:<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve gone all of May and June with no paycheck (yay graduate school!) and writing my July rent check wiped out my checking account. And the postal service lost my tax refund, so that was money I was relying on that I can\u2019t get for another three weeks. So I\u2019m going \u201coh dear oh dear oh dear how will I feed myself until [various little things I\u2019ve been expecting] pop in?”\u00a0<\/p>\n
(N.B.: I did not say “oh dear,\u201d but I want to keep this submission family-friendly.<\/p>\n
A couple of notes: I have tagged this recipe as \u201cvegan\u201d and \u201cvegetarian.\u201d It is definitely vegetarian in its base (but you can add meat if you have it and want it). I didn\u2019t check my ingredients to see if they were all vegan, but if you\u2019re vegan, my guess is that what you have handy for this is also vegan. Because it\u2019s vegetarian, it\u2019s kosher. I express no opinion on whether it\u2019s halal. SO, without further ado, here\u2019s how I fed myself for almost three days:<\/p>\n
1. Start your favorite pasta boiling. No, it doesn\u2019t matter what. BOIL THAT PASTA. Wanna use fresh? Go for it. All you have is half a bag of linguine left over from spaghetti sauce six months ago? That stuff ain\u2019t gone bad, use it up.<\/p>\n
2. In a measuring cup, add:<\/p>\n
\n2 parts soy sauce<\/p>\n
2 parts peanut butter (you can use sesame seed butter or almond butter or tahini if you\u2019re allergic to peanuts)<\/p>\n
2 parts fresh ginger (or as much ginger as you can stand)<\/p>\n
1 part sesame oil<\/p>\n
1 part chili garlic paste (or sriracha, if that\u2019s what you have, or hot sauce, if that\u2019s what you have)<\/p>\n
salt, sugar, sesame seeds, and cilantro to taste (so if you think cilantro tastes like soap, leave it out)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
3. Blend until smooth. A stick blender is the best option here, but anything (even a whisk) that gets the job done. Taste it – MAKE SURE YOU TASTE IT. If it\u2019s too spicy for you (like my first batch was), add sugar or honey or soy sauce. Too salty? Add sugar or honey or the spicy. Too dark (flavor wise, not color wise; dark flavors should remind you of chocolate)? Add more ginger. Too bright (bright flavors should remind you of vinegar)? Add more peanut butter.<\/p>\n
4. Drain your pasta (cook it well past al dente, you don\u2019t want the leftovers to get crunchy in the fridge).<\/p>\n
5. Toss sauce over pasta. Feel free to not use all the sauce; your goal is to coat, not swim. The amount of pasta should determine the amount of sauce you use. For half a pound of pasta, \u201c2 parts\u201d above should be \u201c\u00bc cup.\u201d (For those who don\u2019t keep conversions in your head, that means \u201c1 part\u201d is \u201c2 tablespoons.\u201d<\/p>\n
6. Go to town. If you made more than about a quarter pound of pasta, go to town for about three days.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
