Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Peanuts (roasted, unsalted)
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional)
Instructions
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat.
Melt the butter in the skillet and add the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir until the sugar is melted and the ingredients are well combined.
Add the chow mein noodles and roasted peanuts to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly with the sauce.
Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the noodles are lightly toasted and the sauce is absorbed.
If using sesame seeds, sprinkle them over the mixture and stir to combine.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container for later. Enjoy your crunchy, flavorful snack!
