Default quick sauce for noodles

hi, i'd like to start cooking again (to save money)

I'll be buying varied kinds of organic noodles/pasta (wholewheat or
some other non-white wheat).

I have this delicious vegetarian tom yam paste that I can use without
cooking. But I can't eat it everyday.

I need ideas on easy to do sauces, preferbably ones that I don't need
to cook, just mix with water or something and pour on the noodle.

What bout peanut butter? I heard it is good? More ideas please :-)

Look around the grocery store and see what you can get that is pre-prepared.
I was in the condiment isle & they had a bunch of salad dressings that you
mix with sour cream, etc. At the very least, you should be able to find what
you're looking for in bottles. If you want to save money, look for sales on
these things and stock up.

Have you thought about searching the Internet? Seems to be quite a few
recipes out there.

One of my favorites is butter + soy sauce. It goes great with noodles
+ frozen veggies, or soba noodles.

Sounds like you like asian foods. Try to re-create Cold Noodles with
"Sesame Sauce" if you like it:

Julienned Cucumbers and Carrots (or Bean Sprouts)
Sesame Seeds (slightly toasted in toaster oven's lowest setting)
Linguine
Peanut Butter

Mix and serve cold. You can experiment with adding a very small
amount of sesame oil to the peanut butter before mixing, also.

Also look for Contessa Brand Sesame Chicken in the frozen food section
of the Supermarket. It is a family favorite of ours. (No, I don't
work for the company.) It's very easy to make.

Another easy creation:

Large chunks chopped onion and green pepper
Medium Chunks chopped Tempeh
Your favorite BBQ sauce (I like anything with Hickory flavor)
Cooked rice (I like brown, but you can use white if you prefer)

Cook rice. Coat Tempeh with BBQ sauce and set aside. Saute onion and
green pepper on high heat until a few brown spots are seen on green
pepper. Add Tempeh and stir-fry for 10 minutes. Serve over steaming
rice.

One more...

Lightly toasted sesame seeds (as above)
steamed broccoli or asparagus chunks (boiled if necessary)
(feel free to add re-warmed sliced meat to this, but keep it in
balance with the veggies - sliced pork would be especially good,
perhaps the day after you make pork chops)
Cooked rice
Soy sauce + smidgen of butter

Cook rice. Toast sesame seeds and set aside. Steam veggies. Assemble
platefuls: rice, then veggies, then sesame seeds, then sprinkle of
soy sauce and dots of butter. Serve. Unbelievably delicious in its
simplicity.

In case I have missed my guess and you're not Asian... here's
something with dairy in it:

colby cheese enough to cover a slice of rye bread (because Colby
melts beautifully, almost as beautifully as Harvarti, but it lasts
longer in the fridge)
slice of rye bread
sprinkle of garlic powder
sprinkle of Jane's salt (or plain salt)
Your favorite canned soup, prepared according to can directions -
perhaps try a tomato soup.

Prepare the soup first. Place a slice of rye bread on a piece of
aluminum foil. Cover the rye bread with thin slices of colby cheese
enough to cover. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. Place bread
(on foil) in toaster oven, and toast on "top brown" setting. You may
have to toast it twice. Make sure the entire top of it is bubbling
before you take it out. Eat with your favorite soup to round out the
meal.

I think all of these are easy enough for the beginning cook to
handle. They offer big rewards for little effort. You might try
doctoring up storebought spaghetti sauce and making your own garlic
bread for a spaghetti dinner when you're feeling braver someday.
That's a classic low to medium effort meal. Hint: curry powder is
delicious in spaghetti sauce, and so is a small amount of butter.
However, "italian seasoning" often has too much thyme in it to be of
much value.

Best wishes.
