SPICY PEANUT NOODLES



Spicy Peanut Noodles image

Whip up this quick, versatile peanut sauce and pair it with your favorite noodles (rice noodles, yakisoba, egg noodles, spaghetti--whatever you have on hand) for a satisfying bowl that is ready in just 15 minutes. Inspired by Chinese sesame noodles, this recipe relies on peanut butter instead of Chinese sesame paste (zhī ma jiàng) for a nutty, savory flavor, though feel free to sub in sesame paste (or use a combination of both) if you have it at home. The dish is easy to adapt: Add more chili crisp or ginger for a bolder version, a little more sugar for a sweeter sauce or a bit of water to thin it out.

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Two 10-ounce packages fresh ramen noodles
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons chili crisp, plus more if desired
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon grated ginger
Chopped scallions and honey-roasted peanuts, for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
  • Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter, chili crisp, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and ginger in a large bowl and whisk to combine. (The sauce might look curdled, but keep whisking until smooth.)
  • Drain the noodles, add them to the bowl with the sauce and toss until the noodles are nicely coated. Garnish with chopped scallions and peanuts. Add additional chili crisp if you prefer more spice.

Tips:

  • Use fresh peanuts: Fresh peanuts have a better flavor and texture than store-bought peanuts.
  • Soak the peanuts overnight: Soaking the peanuts overnight helps to soften them and make them more flavorful.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices to find the perfect combination for your taste.
  • Roast the peanuts in a single layer: This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Keep an eye on the peanuts while they are roasting: They can burn easily, so be sure to stir them frequently.
  • Let the peanuts cool completely before storing them: This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Spicy smoky peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover peanuts. With a variety of spices to choose from, you can easily customize this recipe to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack, give these spicy smoky peanuts a try.
