If your family is like mine, finding a dish everyone loves can be a challenge but everyone always agrees on this dish inspired by a favorite local Thai restaurant! You can add chicken or shrimp if you’d like!
What’s in Peanut Butter Noodles?
These peanut noodles are not an authentic Thai dish but they’re definitely inspired by a favorite peanut sauce of ours.
Sauce: An easy and creamy sauce made with peanut butter, a hint of heat, and lots of flavor. You can make it as spicy (or mild) as you like. Add a dash of fish sauce if you have it on hand! Noodles: Rice noodles, linguine or spaghetti work well in this recipe (whole wheat noodles work too). Veggies: Julienned or shredded veggies are great in this dish. Use whatever you have on hand. Toppings: My favorite part! Lime juice, peanuts, cilantro, and green onions all add a big punch of flavor!
Tips For Making Peanut Noodles
Once you start cooking this recipe comes together FAST! Prep all ingredients before getting started. Add leftover oven baked chicken breasts or shrimp to this recipe. Peanut butter noodle sauce is too thick, just add a little pasta water or chicken broth to thin it out. The sauce does thicken up a bit when it sits on the pasta, so it’s best to serve this dish right after tossing the pasta and sauce together. The amount of salt you’ll ultimately need in this dish will be greatly affected by the soy sauce you use. I use low sodium soy sauce.
