Peanut sauce noodles

The sauce for these noodles can just be whisked together in a bowl or it can be cooked on the stovetop like I did, for a few minutes to make it very smooth and creamy. The flavors also blend together better this way.

Thai peanut noodles/ Asian peanut noodles

The use of Siracha sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and green onions gives this meal an Asian flavor. I Unlike Chinese meals, Thai meals have a little spicy kick to them.

Best quality peanut butter = Best peanut butter noodles

There are many brands out there. Use your favorite without any artificial colorings and flavors for the best flavor. I highly recommend using the unsweetened version without any sugar, honey or maple syrup since that makes the overall meal too sweet.

Tips for peanut sesame noodles/sesame peanut noodles:

  • Don’t cook the spaghetti and sauce all together because that added too much starch in this meal.
  • Use fresh ginger and fresh garlic instead of ground ginger/garlic since fresh always has the best flavor and fragrance.
  • I used regular spaghetti but you can also use egg noodles.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha sauce, based on your preference.
  • Don’t omit sesame oil. Even though it’s a small amount, it adds a lot of flavor.
  • Use low sodium soy sauce to prevent the meal from becoming too salty.
  • Soy sauce can be replaced with coconut aminos, if you have soy allergies.
  • Use the best quality pure peanut butter that has not been sweetened.
