Description
Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles is a quick, easy, and flavorful dish combining creamy peanut butter with a spicy kick.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz rice noodles, spaghetti, soba, udon, or zucchini noodles
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 1 to 2 tablespoons chili sauce or sriracha
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or toasted sesame oil
- 2 to 4 tablespoons warm water
- 2 green onions, chopped
- Fresh cilantro, chopped
- Toasted sesame seeds or chopped toasted peanuts
- Extra chili sauce
- Grilled chicken, tofu, shrimp, or tempeh
- Shredded carrots, bell peppers, snap peas
Instructions
- Begin by boiling your chosen noodles according to the package instructions until just tender but still firm to the bite (al dente). Then drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and prevent sticking.
- While the noodles cook, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, chili sauce, minced garlic, ginger, lime juice, honey or maple syrup, and oil in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Add warm water gradually to achieve a silky, pourable consistency.
- Toss the drained noodles with the sauce in a large bowl or warm skillet to ensure every strand is beautifully coated and evenly flavored.
- Top the noodles with chopped green onions, fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds or peanuts, and an extra drizzle of chili sauce if desired. Serve immediately for maximum freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Adjust the chili sauce to your heat preference.
- Add more veggies for extra nutrition.
- Use gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free option.
