Ingredients
- 8 oz dried udon noodles
- 4 oz Snow peas strings removed
- ½ cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tsp brown sugar optional
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
- 1 garlic clove minced
- pinch of red pepper flakes or sriracha to taste optional
- 2 –4 tbsp water
- ¼ cup chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Cook udon noodles according to package directions. One minute before cooking time ends, add snow peas to pot. Drain and set aside.
- While noodles are cooking, whisk together peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and red pepper flakes or sriracha (if using). Whisk in water 1 tablespoon at a time until sauce is smooth but still flavorful. (Different peanut butter brands will produce different consistencies of sauce, so it's hard to be exact about the amount of water needed. The sauce will thin out a little bit once added to the noodles, so don't add too much water or the end result will be bland.)
- Add noodles and snow peas back to pot. Stir in peanut sauce. Serve topped with roasted peanuts and additional sriracha, if desired.
