Peanut Noodle Additions and Variations

You can add shrimp, tofu, steak, or chicken if you'd like. The peanut sauce makes it plenty hearty without adding meat or seafood.

I love tossing these noodles with bell peppers, shredded carrots, green onions, and chopped peanuts. You could really use any veggies that you have on hand. Broccoli, cauliflower, cilantro, cucumbers, or mushrooms would all be delicious.

Prep ahead tips

These peanut noodles are delicious hot or cold. This would make a great picnic meal or meal-prepped lunch. Leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 5 days (2-3 days if you add additional protein). The noodles can stick together a bit when refrigerated. To loosen them up again, stir in a little hot water.

Serving Suggestions

These peanut noodles have a slight spice to them (see notes about spice level). To cool your palate down, I'd recommend serving with a Tropical Moscow Mule.

Ingredients

  • 16 oz rice noodles
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup low sodium soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 ½ teaspoon sambal oelek see note
  • 1 inch piece of peeled ginger
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1 inch strips
  • ½ cup shredded carrots
  • ⅓ cup sliced green onions
  • ¼ cup roughly chopped peanuts

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook rice noodles according to the package. Reserve 1 cup of water before draining and setting aside.
  • Meanwhile, add peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sambal oelek, ginger, and garlic to a food processor or blender. Pulse for 20 seconds, or until ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.
  • Toss noodles with sauce, bell pepper, carrots, green onion, and peanuts. Add a few tablespoons of reserved water at a time until you reach your desired consistency. The noodles can be served hot or cold.

Notes

  • Sambal oelek is a spicy chili paste. This recipe has a kick to it so if you are sensitive to spice, reduce the amount or omit (or add more if you love spice). If your grocery store does not carry sambal oelek, you can substitute for siracha. If you are unsure how much spice to use, start with a little, taste, and add more to your liking.
  • I use rice noodles but really any long noodle should work.
