Pin ItHow to Make Spicy Peanut Butter Noodles
- Prepare the noodles. Boil water and cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Make the sauce. Heat oil in a skillet and sauté the ginger and garlic for 30 seconds. Remove from heat, then stir in the peanut butter and remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Combine. Toss the noodles in the peanut butter sauce until well coated.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
To Store: Spicy peanut butter noodles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days. Keep in mind that the noodles will absorb the sauce. When reheating the noodles, add a bit of water, soy sauce, or broth to get the sauciness back.
To Freeze: The peanut butter sauce can be frozen separately for up to three months. It’s best to make the noodles fresh, as frozen noodles tend to lose their texture over time, especially when mixed with sauce.
