Ingredients

  • 8 oz noodles (rice noodles, ramen, or spaghetti)
  • 3 tbsp peanut butter (smooth and unsweetened)
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger (optional)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • ½ tsp chili flakes or 1 tsp sriracha (adjust to taste)
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell pepper, carrots, broccoli, snap peas, etc.)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 tbsp crushed peanuts (for topping)
  • Fresh cilantro or lime wedges (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cool water to stop the cooking process.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar or lime juice, garlic, ginger, honey or maple syrup, and chili flakes or sriracha until smooth. Add a splash of warm water if the sauce is too thick.
  3. Heat a bit of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Stir-fry the vegetables until just tender but still crisp, about 4–5 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked noodles to the pan with the vegetables. Pour the peanut sauce over everything.
  5. Toss well to combine and heat through, about 2–3 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately, topped with green onions, crushed peanuts, and a squeeze of lime. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • Add tofu, shrimp, or shredded chicken for extra protein.
  • For a gluten-free version, use tamari instead of soy sauce and rice noodles.
  • Use any vegetables on hand — cabbage, spinach, mushrooms, etc. work great.
  • Double the peanut sauce recipe for extra flavor or to use later.
  • Reheat leftovers with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
