Thai Peanut Sauce Noodles

Thai Peanut Noodles is a flavoursome lip smacking noodles recipe made with sweet spicy asian style peanut sauce. It is a vegan, gluten free, easy and quick dinner recipe which can be prepared in less than 20 minutes.

Peanut Noodles Recipe Vegan Gluten Free

I tasted these spicy peanut sauce noodles on my trip to Koh Phi Phi (Thailand) and instantly fell in love with them. They had a nutty spicy taste with just the right amount of sweetness and are definitely a treat for peanut lovers.

You just need a handful of ingredients from your pantry to make this easy simple peanut sauce. The recipe is quite flexible as you can always adjust the spiciness or sweetness as per your choice. These peanut noodles are so effortless to prepare and is a perfect quick dinner recipe on a busy day.

Ingredients for peanut sauce noodles:

Noodles:  As I wanted to keep this recipe gluten free I have use ‘blue elephant’ brand rice noodles (not a promotional post). You can also brown rice noodles, soba noodles, udon noodles or pasta like spaghetti or fettuccine too. I have used ‘ rice noodles here.

Vegetables: The best part about this easy peanut noodles recipe is the flexibility to add any veggies of your choice.Here I have added ginger, garlic, carrots & bell pepper but you can even add some blanched broccoli, french beans, mushrooms or purple cabbage.

Peanut Butter: It is the key ingredients for making peanut sauce. You can use creamy or crunchy peanut butter for it. The peanut butter I have used is unsalted & unsweetened. If you are using sweetened or salted one then don’t add too much of salt or sweetener in beginning. Adjust it after tasting the sauce.

Sauces: Soy sauce, sriracha, vinegar adds flavour and heat to the sauce. If you like less spicy food or making this peanut noodles for kids then skip adding sriracha.

Sweetener: You can use honey, maple syrup or brown sugar as sweetener in sauce. In the end it all comes down to the balance of sweet sour & spicy flavours of peanut sauce.

How to make peanut sauce noodles?

The three components of peanut noodles are- peanut sauce, sautéed vegetables and rice noodles.

We begin with boiling the noodles as per the packet instructions. By the time our noodles are boiling, we sauté the veggies and prepare the sauce.

Ginger and garlic are essential in this peanut noodles recipe. They are used in such less quantity but pack so much flavour and punch. First we will sauté ginger-garlic & then add rest of the vegetables. We will keep these vegetables aside and in the same pan prepare our peanut sauce.

To prepare peanut sauce we will add little bit of water in same pan to bring down its temperature and then proceed by adding peanut butter, soy sauce and sriracha etc to make our peanut butter sauce.

Toss the boiled noodles & sautéed vegetables in this sauce. Finally garnish with roasted sesame seeds and crushed peanuts for additional crunchiness. Some freshly chopped spring onions and a squeeze of lemon works wonders in adding freshness to them.

Are peanut noodles vegan?

Yes, this peanut noodles recipe is absolutely vegan!! You can add more vegetables or protein like crispy tofu to these peanut noodles. I even sometimes skip noodles and use this peanut sauce as salad dressing.

Can I make these peanut noodles well before the serving time?

If you are planning to serve the peanut noodles after few hours, I would recommend to boil the noodles and prepare the sauce in advance but don’t mix them. Mix the noodles, sautéed veggies and peanut sauce just before serving. As the noodles soak up all the sauce if kept for too long, it is better to mix them a few minutes right before the serving.
