Ingredients
| 1 | lb | linguine |
| 3⁄4 | c | smooth peanut butter |
| 1⁄3 | c | low sodium chicken broth |
| 1⁄4 | c | rice vinegar |
| 2 | tbsp | low sodium soy sauce |
| 2 | tbsp | sugar |
| 2 | tsp | sesame oil |
| 1⁄2 | tsp | red pepper flakes |
| 1⁄2 | tsp | ground ginger |
| 1⁄2 | c | Stonyfield Organic Low Fat Plain Yogurt |
| 3 | c | shredded Napa cabbage |
| 1 | sweet red pepper (seeded and thinly sliced) | |
| 6 | scallions (trimmed and thinly sliced, plus additional for garnish) |
Directions
Cook linguine in a large pot of salted water for about 12 minutes or until al dente. Drain, and immediately plunge into an ice water bath. Set aside.
Meanwhile, in a medium-size saucepan, combine peanut butter, broth, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, red pepper flakes and ginger. Whisk until combined. Cook on medium-high heat for about 2 to 3 minutes, or until thickened.
Drain noodles, discarding ice cubes. Toss with half of the dressing (about 3/4 cup), and allow to soak it in for a few minutes. Stir yogurt into remaining dressing, then add dressing, cabbage, peppers, and scallions and toss until well combined. Top with additional sliced scallions and serve cold. Best if served on the day it is made.
