Ingredients

  • 1 baguette, thinly sliced and toasted
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 cup crispy fried noodles
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Prep Steps

  1. 1Preheat oven to 330°F (165°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast for 8-10 minutes minutes, or until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  2. 2In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until smooth and well combined. If the sauce is too thick, add a teaspoon of warm water until desired consistency is reached.
  3. 3Once the crostini are cool, spread a generous layer of the peanut-lime sauce evenly over each toasted baguette slice.
  4. 4Carefully sprinkle a small handful of crispy fried noodles over the top of each crostini, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. 5Arrange the crostini on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro and an optional pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  6. 6Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp texture of the noodles.

Chef's Tip & Pairing

For an extra layer of flavor, lightly toast the chopped peanuts before using them as a garnish. Pair this appetizer with a crisp, slightly off-dry Riesling to complement the spice and tang of the peanut sauce.
