Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti or rice noodles
- 0.33 cup Peanut butter (smooth or creamy)
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha or chili sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 0.33 cup Water
- 3 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)
- 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the spaghetti or rice noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, sriracha, minced garlic, grated ginger, and water until smooth and creamy.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings: add more sriracha for extra heat, soy sauce for saltiness, or honey for sweetness, as needed.
In a large skillet or saucepan, transfer the cooked noodles and pour the peanut sauce over them. Toss together gently over low heat until evenly coated and warmed through, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove from heat and transfer to serving bowls or plates.
Top with sliced green onions, crushed peanuts, cilantro leaves, and sesame seeds for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy peanut noodles!
