Ingredients

Scale

Noodles

  • 8 oz rice noodles or spaghetti

Peanut Sauce

  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2–3 tablespoons warm water (to thin sauce)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles: Boil the noodles according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking and set aside.
  2. Prepare the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger until smooth. Add warm water slowly to reach your desired sauce consistency.
  3. Toss noodles with sauce and veggies: Combine the cooked noodles with the peanut sauce and toss well to coat evenly. Add shredded carrots, sliced bell pepper, and green onions, mixing thoroughly to incorporate the veggies.
  4. Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro and peanuts if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate for a chilled noodle salad.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free option.
  • Add protein like grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp for a more filling meal.
  • Adjust sauce thickness by varying water amount to preference.
  • Peanuts can be substituted with cashews or almonds.
  • For extra spice, add crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of sriracha.
