These super addictive spicy peanut noodles with fried garlic and chili are so easy I made them while sitting on my couch!

QUICK & TASTY 15 Minute Spicy Peanut Noodles

Prep Time : 5 min

Prep Time : 10 min

Total Time : 15 min,

Servings :6.

Ingredients

• 16 ounces brown rice noodles
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 tbsp oil
• 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter (ideally low/no salt*)
• 3-4 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or tamari*
• 1/4 cup water or chicken/veggie broth for more flavor
• 1 tbsp rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
• 1-2 tbsp sriracha
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• Optional: 2 tsp chili garlic sauce and or 1/2 tsp ground ginger

INSTRUCTIONS

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package instructions.

• Finely mince the garlic and add to a saute pan with 1 tbsp of oil. Any oil will work here, I used olive. 

• Saute over low heat for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown. 

• Add in all remaining sauce ingredients and whisk together until smooth, adding more water as needed to reach your desired consistency. 

• Add about 1/2 of the sauce to cooked pasta and mix together. I intentionally made extra sauce in case you want to add some chicken, tofu, veggies etc. I don’t recommend adding all of the sauce at once because it may be too much depending on your preference, so start with 1/2 and add more depending on your preference. I usually end up adding all of it because I like it saucey, but up to you!

• Taste and add more soy sauce, sriracha, or any other seasonings as desired.

• Serve with crushed peanuts, scallions, red pepper flakes and enjoy! 

NOTES

The peanut sauce can get too salty very easily if you’re not careful! I recommend using unsalted peanut butter and low sodium soy sauce so the salt isn’t overpowering. Peanut noodles can be eaten hot or cold. Add in some freshly chopped veggies for a cold noodle salad, or serve alongside some steamed broccoli and grilled chicken for an easy weeknight meal.Once prepared, this recipe will store in the fridge for 5 days. The sauce tends to dry up as it sits, so if you want to get it saucey again, add the noodles to a pan with a splash of water, broth, or soy sauce and heat until warm.
