Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces dried noodles (such as spaghetti, linguine, or ramen noodles)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste)
  • 1/4 cup hot water (or more, to reach desired consistency)
  • Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, chopped green onions, cilantro, lime wedges, shredded carrots, cucumber slices

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, prepare the peanut sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes.
  3. Gradually whisk in the hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. It should be smooth and pourable.
  4. Add the drained noodles to a large bowl. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles.
  5. Toss gently until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
  • If you don’t have rice vinegar, you can substitute with white vinegar or apple cider vinegar.
  • For a thinner sauce, add a little more hot water. For a thicker sauce, use less water or a bit more peanut butter.
  • This dish is best served cold or at room temperature.
