Ingredients
- 8 oz. rice noodles (I use 3 ramen cakes*)
- 2-3 green onions
- 2 tsp. sesame seeds
For the hoisin-peanut sauce:
- 3 Tbsp. hoisin sauce (GF if desired**)
- 1 Tbsp. peanut butter (creamy, natural)
- 1 Tbsp. rice vinegar unseasoned
- 1 tsp. pure maple syrup
- 1 clove garlic or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, minced
- 1/2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 1-2 Tbsp. water optional, as needed, or veggie broth
For serving (optional):
- cashew
- red pepper flakes
- cilantro
- sesame seed
- peanut roasted peanuts, fresh, more sesame seeds, etc
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, cook noodles according to package instructions, leaving them al dente (slightly firm, not mushy).
- Meanwhile, thinly slice the green onions. Set aside.
- Make the sauce: In a small bowl, add all sauce ingredients and whisk until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of water or vegetable broth to slightly thin it out.)
- When the noodles are cooked, turn off the heat. Drain the noodles and place them back in the hot saucepan. Immediately add the sauce, green onions, and sesame seeds. Gently toss to combine. (The leftover heat from the saucepan will help warm the sauce.)
- Serve immediately. Garnish with peanuts, red pepper flakes, fresh cilantro, more sesame seeds, or a splash of tamari if desired.

Notes
- Use your favorite rice noodles; millet & brown rice ramen noodles or other rice noodles work well.
- For gluten-free, ensure hoisin sauce and noodles are gluten-free (San-J brand hoisin is an option).
- Add a splash of water or vegetable broth when reheating to loosen thickened leftover noodles.
- If you prefer oil-free, check the hoisin sauce ingredients to avoid added oils.
