There is no exact way of making these 15 Minute Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles. Like I said I was simply experimenting with a few different ingredients and just followed my gut instinct and the result was mouth watering. But this is the best part about dishes like this, you can adjust them according to your taste buds. 

How To Make The Thai Peanut Sauce

This Thai Peanut Sauce is easy to make and can be used as a salad dressing, meat marinade or simply as a dipping sauce. It is ready within minutes and the best part is it only requires ingredients which are easily available in your pantry. 

Simply start by sautéing the minced garlic in 1 tbsp oil. You can use any oil here, even avocado or coconut oil will work well. Sauté over low heat until the garlic is golden brown. Add in the remaining ingredients except the noodles and whisk together until fully incorporated. Bring to a boil and adjust the consistency of the sauce however you like it  by adding in water. 

Once the sauce is ready, add half of it to the cooked noodles and mix together. I suggest don’t add all of the sauce all at once, as it may be too much and can also get too salty. Start by adding half of the Thai peanut sauce and then add more according to your taste buds. 

You can serve this dish hot or cold as you prefer or also add veggies like tofu, carrots, cabbage, bell pepper, green beans or chicken and tofu. Serve it as a side dish when having a Thai meal or simply have it as a main dish. I personally like it the most with grilled chicken on the side.  

Tips and Tricks for Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles 

• Any noodle or pasta works well for this recipe. But to make the recipe vegan or if you have an egg allergy, use rice noodles. 
  
• Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles can be eaten hot or cold. Make this recipe a stir fry by adding in some vegetables. Or simply make it a salad by serving it cold along with some freshly cut vegetables. To make it an easy weeknight meal serve the noodles with grilled chicken or fish.
  
• The Peanut Thai Sauce can get very salty, so be careful! Try using unsalted peanut butter if available and low sodium soy sauce as this would control the salt levels. 
  
• The noodles can be stored for up to 5 days in an airtight container in the fridge. The sauce will dry up a little, but don’t worry you can fix this by adding a splash of water, broth or soy sauce in the pan and heat until warm. 

Pair this recipe with the Asian Kale Salad or the Thai Cucumber Salad for the perfect Thai meal! Lastly, if you make this recipe don’t forget to tag me on instagram and leave a comment below!
