How to Make Peanut Noodles
Peanut sauce with noodles is so easy to make. Here’s a quick rundown of how they come together.
Make peanut noodles Sauce
Whisk all of the ingredients for the sauce (minus the starchy pasta water) together in a medium bowl and set aside.
Cook Veggies
Cook onion in sesame oil for 1-2 minutes and then add carrots, garlic, and tomato. Cook for 1-2 more minutes. Add broccoli, bell pepper, soy sauce, and lime juice and cook for 4-5 more minutes. Looking to add a protein? Once you’ve cooked your veggies, set them aside and cook strips of your favorite protein such as shrimp, chicken, beef, or tofu.
Cook Ramen
Cook ramen in boiling water until they’re al dente. Remove ¼ cup of starchy pasta water from the pot and set aside. Then, strain the noodles.
Combine
Add ramen to the cooked veggies and toss.
Thicken Sauce
Add the starchy pasta water to the sauce and whisk to combine.
Toss and Enjoy
Toss the peanut sauce with the ramen and veggies until combined. Top with fresh cilantro, green onions, peanuts, and sesame seeds.
Storage
Store leftover noodles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-5 days. To reheat: reheat your peanut noodles exactly how to cooked them– in a large, cast-iron skillet. You will likely need to add a little bit of liquid such as water or broth. Reheat over medium heat until hot.
