Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings

Ingredients

  1. 200g peanut butter
  2. 300g noodles
  3. 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  4. 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  5. 2 cloves garlic, minced
  6. 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
  7. 1 tablespoon lime juice
  8. 2 green onions, sliced
  9. Chili flakes to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients by measuring and chopping: mince garlic, grate fresh ginger, slice green onions, and set aside.
  2. Fill a large pot with water and bring to a rolling boil. Add a pinch of salt to the water for enhanced noodle flavor.
  3. Cook noodles according to package instructions, typically 8-10 minutes, until they are al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking process.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and lime juice. Whisk thoroughly until sauce is smooth and well-integrated.
  5. If sauce seems too thick, gradually add warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is achieved.
  6. Pour the peanut sauce over cooked noodles and toss gently to ensure even coating.
  7. Garnish with sliced green onions and sprinkle chili flakes to taste.
  8. Serve immediately while noodles are warm, optionally with additional chili flakes on the side.

Tips

  1. Use fresh ingredients: Fresh garlic, ginger, and lime juice make a massive difference in flavor intensity.
  2. Control your sauce consistency: Add warm water gradually to achieve your perfect sauce texture.
  3. Don't overcook noodles: Al dente is key for the best texture and mouthfeel.
  4. Customize your heat: Adjust chili flakes to match your spice tolerance.
  5. For extra richness, consider adding a tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds or crushed peanuts as a final garnish.
  6. If you prefer a protein boost, try adding grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp to the dish.
  7. Leftover noodles can be stored in the refrigerator and enjoyed cold as a delicious next-day lunch.
