Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles

We put our own spin on peanut sauce for these Thai inspired peanut noodles. They're a bit spicy, with loads of flavor and texture thanks to the peanuts, cilantro, soy, and sesame.

Step 1

Boil the Noodles: First up you’re going to need to prepare the noodles. Start boiling some water and add whichever type of noodles you plan to use. Just follow the package instructions and cook for however long it calls for. While the noodles are cooking you can move on to the next step to begin preparing the Thai peanut sauce!

Step 2

Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce: Heat up the sesame oil with the red pepper flakes on the stove for a couple minutes. Keep the heat low and do not let the oil burn. If it starts to smoke, the oil is burnt and you’ll want to dump it out and start over. After heating strain the oil through a mesh strainer into a mixing bowl. Discard the red pepper flakes. Now you can stir in the peanut butter. Finally, add the soy sauce and honey to the oil/peanut butter mixture and continue stirring until all of the sauce ingredients are well combined.

Step 3

Combine: When the noodles are finished cooking, drain the water from them, and then add the noodles in with the spicy peanut sauce. Toss it well to make sure that the noodles get fully coated in the sauce.

Step 4

We like to top these spicy Thai noodles with some chopped peanuts, green onion, and cilantro. You’ll love the texture of these peanut sauce noodles with the crunchy peanuts!
