These peanut noodles are super easy to make and takes only 5 minutes! The noodles are perfectly al-dente with a beautiful bounce and the sauce is super creamy, flavorful, and has just the right amount of heat, with the help of our easy 5 minute chili oil.
Cilantro or green onionsroughly chopped or thinly sliced (optional)
Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the knife cut noodles for about 5 minutes or according to the package instructions.
While the noodles are cooking, make the peanut sauce. Mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar, and sugar until well combined. *The sauce is just thin enough to coat the noodles, but if you prefer your sauce on the looser side, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cooking water from the noodles to thin the sauce.*
When the noodles are done cooking, add it to the prepared sauce and mix well.
Top with more chili oil and some chopped cilantro or thinly sliced green onions, or both. Enjoy!
Notes
Please refer to the post above for step by step photo references, tips, and FAQs!
Soy sauce - It is important that regular soy sauce is used for the peanut sauce because low sodium soy sauce will be too light in flavor. If you only have low sodium soy sauce, we recommend adding about ⅛ teaspoon salt to the sauce.
Dark soy sauce - If you are thinning the sauce with water, you can also add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dark soy sauce to give the peanut sauce more color.
