Ingredients

  • 12 oz noodles (spaghetti, ramen, or rice noodles)

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

  • 2 tbsp soy sauce

  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup

  • 1 garlic clove, minced

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

  • 1 tbsp sriracha (optional for heat)

  • 1/4 cup hot water (to thin sauce)

  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds (toasted)

  • 2 green onions, sliced thin

Directions

  • Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a mixing bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and sriracha. Add hot water gradually until you reach a smooth and pourable consistency.
  • Combine: Toss the cooked noodles in the peanut sauce until well-coated.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, toss in some crushed peanuts or chopped veggies like carrots or cucumbers.
