Ingredients
The Flavor Science
Aromatic Base: Fresh garlic and ginger provide antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits, perfect for post-workout recovery. The Acid Balance: Rice wine vinegar cuts through the heavy fats of the peanut butter, brightening the entire dish. Sesame Finish: Sesame oil has a low smoke point but high flavor impact; adding it at the end preserves its nutty aroma.
How to make 5-Minute Peanut Butter Chilli Noodles
Cook your noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, reserving a tiny splash of the starchy cooking water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and chilli oil. If the sauce is too thick to pour, add that splash of reserved noodle water.
Heat the sesame oil in a saucepan or wok over low heat. Add the cooked noodles and toss briefly to coat.
Pour the peanut butter sauce over the noodles. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the sauce becomes glossy and clings to every strand.
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds. A squeeze of fresh lime at the end is highly recommended!
