Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Dried noodles (e.g., wheat noodles or thin spaghetti)
- 5 tablespoons Peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, finely minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, finely minced or grated
- 1 tablespoon Honey or sugar
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha or chili oil (optional, adjust to taste)
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Toasted peanuts, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions until tender but firm to the bite. Drain and rinse them under cold running water to cool them completely. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, honey (or sugar), and Sriracha (if using). Whisk until smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water to loosen it to your desired consistency.
In a large serving bowl, toss the cold noodles with the peanut sauce until evenly coated.
Top the noodles with julienned cucumber and chopped scallions for freshness and crunch.
Sprinkle with toasted peanuts as a garnish, if desired, for an extra nutty crunch.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for an extra refreshing experience.
