Tips and Notes

  • Noodles: Use rice noodles, soba noodles, or your favorite pasta for this recipe. Cook according to package instructions and rinse them under cold water to prevent sticking.
  • Peanut Sauce: Make the peanut sauce by combining creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, garlic, and ginger. Adjust the ingredients to taste, adding more lime juice for acidity or more maple syrup for sweetness.
  • Vegetables: Feel free to customize the dish with your choice of vegetables, such as bell peppers, carrots, or broccoli. Sauté them briefly before tossing with the noodles and sauce.
  • Storage: Store any leftover Thai Peanut Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water if needed to loosen the sauce.
