5 Ingredient Asian Peanut Noodles
Description
The dish starts by cooking thin spaghetti noodles in chicken stock, which infuses them with additional savory taste. After partially draining, the noodles retain some moisture to help sauce cling. The sauce is formed simply by combining soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, and sriracha for heat, mixing thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly.
Optional toppings like crushed peanuts and sliced green onions provide crunch and herbal brightness. Inclusion of cooked chicken pieces turns the meal into a more substantial option suitable for lunch or dinner.
This noodle dish combines straightforward ingredients for an accessible Asian-inspired meal. Cooking pasta in stock rather than water enhances flavor without extra steps. The creamy peanut sauce with spicy kick makes this recipe distinct and satisfying.
The recipe is adapted heavily from Martha Stewart’s version, focusing on minimal ingredients and quick preparation.
Ingredients
- 1 pound spaghetti thin
- 6 cups chicken stock , or 6 cups water and 2 heaping tablespoons of Chicken Better Than Bouillon
- 3 tablespoon soy sauce lite
- 3 tablespoon peanut butter
- Sriracha sauce (to taste, I usually use just less than a tablespoon for a pound of pasta)
- peanuts optional, crushed
- green onion optional, sliced
- chicken optional, cooked
Instructions
- Cook the noodles on high with stock for 5-7 minutes.
- Drain off 90% of the water

Notes
- Use chicken stock instead of water to cook noodles for a richer base flavor.
- Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce to control the level of spiciness.
- Add cooked chicken to make the dish more filling.
- Top with crushed peanuts and sliced green onions for added texture and freshness.
