Of all the many ways of cooking, using peanut butter to enhance texture in savoury food items is perhaps one of the most underrated means of making the best use of peanut butter nutrition . Asian cuisine especially incorporates peanuts into many of their dishes.
If you are on a tight deadline or just plain lazy to cook an elaborate meal, peanut butter will be your ‘knight in shining armor. Here’s how:
- Simply grab a variety of veggies that you like and sauté everything with peanut butter, soy, scallions, garlic, chilies, and oil. You can either add rice, noodles or enjoy the goodness of these vegetables in a creamy sauce. This recipe is perfect for both small meals and bigger group meals.

- French toast with PB is one of the cool things to do with peanut butter. You got to try it!
- Did you know that you can mix peanut butter into noodles? That’s right! The creamy texture and nutty flavor of peanut butter will make your noodles dish finger-licking-good.
