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, minced (or 1/4 tsp. garlic powder)
- 1/2 tsp. ginger, freshly grated
- 1-2 Tbsp. water or veggie broth (optional, as needed)
For serving (optional):
- Roasted peanuts, cashews, red pepper flakes, fresh cilantro, 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
- *Noodles: My favorite is Lotus Foods "Millet & Brown Rice" ramen noodles. TOr simply use 8 oz. of your favorite rice noodles or other noodles.
- **For gluten-free: Use GF noodles and hoisin sauce. (I use San-J brand hoisin sauce for gluten-free.)
- For oil-free: Ensure your hoisin sauce is oil-free.
- Leftovers: Noodles will thicken and become sticky as they sit. If reheating leftovers, I add a splash of water or veggie broth first to help rehydrate them.
- Nutrition: Estimated nutritional content is calculated without any optional toppings, and using Lotus Foods ramen noodles.
