Ingredients needed
The simple ingredients for this recipe are listed fully down in the recipe card but let’s briefly go over the pantry staples needed including a few substitutions you can make as desired!
Noodles – I prefer thin spaghetti, but many other noodles works including linguine, rice noodles, soba noodles, udon noodles, or even ramen noodles!
Toasted sesame oil – Adds that nutty depth; don’t skip if you can help it.
Neutral oil – Canola, avocado, or vegetable oil all work.
Peanut butter – Creamy natural peanut butter is ideal, but crunchy works for extra texture. I’ve also tried this with almond butter and it’s delicious!
Rice vinegar – Brightens the sauce; lime juice can work in a pinch.
Honey – Swap for agave or maple syrup to keep it vegan.
Soy sauce – Use tamari or coconut aminos if needed.
Garlic – Fresh is best here.
Fresh ginger – Adds warmth and balance; ground ginger works in a pinch but fresh is preferred.
How to Make It
Just a reminder that you can find the FULL written recipe down in the recipe card, but I want to quickly go over how to make them with visuals for you 🙂
Start out by cooking your noodles in a medium pot according to package directions.
Make the soy peanut sauce by whisking together the oil, peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey, soy sauce, garlic and ginger until fully combined. Sometimes I add more peanut butter depending on how peanut-y I want it.
Toss the cooked noodles into the sauce and continue to mix until they’re fully covered in the creamy peanut sauce.
Divide the noodles evenly and top with sesame seeds, green onions, and chopped peanuts! Bean sprouts are also delicious on top.
Recipe Tips
Toss the noodles while they’re still hot so the peanut butter melts smoothly into a silky sauce.
If the sauce feels thick, add a splash of hot pasta water to loosen it up.
For heat, add chili crisp, hot sauce such as sriracha, or red pepper flakes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Edamame, tofu, broccoli, snap peas or snow peas, or shredded carrots all work great.
Yes! Add a splash of water when reheating to loosen the sauce.
Yep – just use gluten-free pasta and tamari!
