Peanut Noodles

January 6, 2022

I’ve been obsessed with this Peanut Dressing that I thought it would be nice to use it in noodles, too.

Here’s a quick story…

From the time I made peanut dressing, aside from using it in salads, I tried to use it as a dipping sauce for chicken (grilled or fried). I also tried to mix with instant noodles, add it in soups – everything was perfect!

Do you remember the Pad Thai I made? BFF and I loved it so much, but she has this love and hate relationship with fish sauce. This Peanut Noodles is like a Pad Thai without the fish sauce – that’s what she said. So yes, the taste is close to Pad Thai. Ugh! It’s just to goooood!!

IS PEANUT NOODLES EASY TO MAKE?

Yes, it’s so easy and quick to make, less than 30 minutes.

Usually, I make my dressing ahead of time so it will be ready for my salad the next day or a quick peanut noodles for dinner. 

 It is so so good I could literally eat it on a daily basis!!

NOTES:

  • I didn’t really measure the dry rice noodles I used. if I am not mistaken, it’s 100-150 g (dry) rice noodles. You can use 5mm or 3mm, it’s not a big deal. You can even use whole wheat spaghetti.
  • The addition of veggies is optional. I just wanted to add some color to my dish.
  • I used red & yellow bell pepper coz that’s what I had.
