You can’t beat the combination of meatballs, noodles and peanut butter for comfort food. These chicken satay meatballs hit the spot when it’s comfort food you’re looking for.

The ginger in the meatballs works really well to cut through the nuttiness of the sauce. Ginger in a jar is one of the few cheats that I use in the kitchen.

As usual, use whatever vegetables you have in the crisper.
