INGREDIENTS

16 ounces brown rice noodle

2 cloves of garlic

1 tablespoon of oil

2/3 cup peanut butter (ideally low in salt) *

3-4 tablespoons of low sodium or tamari soy sauce *

1/4 cup water or chicken / vegetarian broth for greater taste

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon fried sesame oil

1-2 tablespoons of sriracha

1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

1/2 teaspoon red pepper

Optional: 2 teaspoons of garlic sauce and 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles in accordance with the instructions on the package.
2. Chop the garlic finely and add 1 tablespoon of oil to the stewpan. Any oil will work here, I used olive.
3. Fry for 2–3 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Add all remaining sauce ingredients and beat together until smooth.
5. Add about 1/2 sauce to the cooked pasta and mix. I specially prepared an additional sauce in case you want to add chicken, tofu, vegetables, etc. I do not recommend adding the whole sauce at once, because most likely it will be too much, so start with 1/2 and add more depending on your discretion.
6. Serve with chopped peanuts, green onions, red pepper flakes and enjoy!

NOTES

• Peanut sauce can very easily become too salty if you are not careful! I recommend using unsalted peanut butter and low sodium soy sauce so that the salt does not suppress.
• Peanut noodles can be eaten hot or cold. Add a little chopped vegetables for a cold noodle salad or serve with steamed broccoli and fried chicken for an easy meal week.
• After cooking, this recipe will be stored in the refrigerator for 5 days. The sauce tends to dry when it sits, so if you want to get it in the sauce again, add the noodles to the pot with water, broth or soy sauce and heat until it is warm.
