Spicy Peanut Noodles
Ingredients
- 16 ounces brown rice noodles
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp sriracha
- 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- optional: 2 tsp chili garlic sauce
Preparation
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
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’ll be too much, so start with 1/2 and add more depending on your preference
Serve with crushed peanuts, scallions, red pepper flakes and enjoy
