Peanut Noodles
Description
The Peanut Noodles recipe prepares wheat noodles cooked according to package directions. Meanwhile, a sauce is made by mixing minced garlic and ginger with peanut butter and hot water to loosen it. Various seasonings including black soy sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil are stirred into the sauce base to build savory depth and umami.
Optional lime juice adds acidity and brightness, while chili oil introduces gentle heat. The drained noodles are tossed with the creamy, aromatic sauce, resulting in a dish that balances nutty richness with savory and spicy notes. The noodles used can be fresh or dried wheat noodles, cooked to a tender texture.
This dish can be served warm or at room temperature as a main or side dish and suits a variety of meal occasions. The peanut-based sauce clings well to the noodles, providing a coherent and flavorful coating.
Ingredients
- 200 g wheat noodles 7 ounces; or 100g/3.5 ounces dried, fresh, white
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ginger (minced or grated)
- 1/3 cup peanut butter (85g; creamy or chunky)
- 2-3 tablespoons water depending on desired sauce consistency, hot
- 1 tablespoon black soy sauce we like the “Healthy Boy” brand; can substitute 1 teaspoon Chinese dark soy sauce, plus ½ - 1 teaspoon sugar to taste, Thai
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce light
- 2 teaspoons fish sauce (or vegan fish sauce to keep the dish vegan)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (optional)
- 2 teaspoons Chili oil (optional)
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil for the noodles. Meanwhile, prepare the garlic and ginger, and add to a serving bowl along with the peanut butter and hot water.
- Stir to combine, letting the hot water loosen the peanut butter. Then stir in the sweet/dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, fish sauce, and sesame oil, along with the lime juice and chili oil if using.
- By now, your water should be boiling. Cook your noodles according to package instructions. Drain and toss in your sauce. Serve.
