Thai Peanut Sauce Noodles with Shrimp
Description
This recipe blends julienned carrots and bell pepper stir-fried briefly to retain crunch, combined with pre-cooked shrimp and yakisoba noodles. The sauce is made from creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, lime juice, garlic, sesame oil, and hot elements like sriracha and chili garlic sauce, creating a sweet-spicy-tangy profile. The thick sauce coats the noodles and proteins, with flexibility to thin it by adding water. Texture contrasts come from chopped unsalted peanuts and green onion garnish.
The cooking method involves sautéing vegetables in avocado oil, integrating the sauce during cooking, and finishing by blending all ingredients together. Shrimp cook quickly, maintaining juiciness.
This noodle dish serves as a flavorful meal combining protein, veggies, and noodles with a balanced, creamy peanut flavor with heat. Variations include substituting noodles or protein depending on availability and preference.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. avocado oil
- 1 cup carrot julienned
- 1/2 large red bell pepper julienned
- 1 package yakisoba noodles cooked (17.76 oz
- 1 cup Shrimp frozen, cooked, tail off, shell off, size 91/110, add more as desired
- 3/4 cup peas frozen
- 1/3 cup peanut unsalted, chopped
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- green onion for garnish
For the Thai Peanut Sauce:
- 1/2 cup peanut butter creamy
- 3 Tbsp. soy sauce low sodium
- 2 Tbsp. honey
- 2 Tbsp. rice vinegar seasoned
- 2 Tbsp. lime juice
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 Tbsp. sesame oil
- 2 tsp. sriracha
- 2 tsp. Chili garlic sauce
- 1/4 tsp. red pepper chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Cook the noodles first and set aside.
- Make the Thai peanut sauce. Gather all ingredients and whisk together in a medium sized bowl. This recipe makes 1 cup Thai peanut sauce. Set aside. (*Note: the sauce is thick. Add a little water to it to thin it out, if desired).
- Heat avocado oil over medium high heat in a wok or large frying pan. Once hot, add in carrots & bell pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. I like to add in about 1/4 cup Thai peanut sauce with the veggies too while they cook. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add in shrimp and cooked noodles and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Once shrimp is cooked, add in 1/2 cup sauce and peas. Start with 1/2 cup of sauce, and continue to add more sauce until the noodles are coated with as much sauce as you'd like.
- Garnish with chopped peanuts and green onions. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can substitute rice noodles, ramen, or brown rice noodles for yakisoba according to preference.
- Try different proteins like tofu or chicken in place of shrimp for variation.
