SPICY PEANUT NOODLES



Spicy Peanut Noodles image

Whip up this quick, versatile peanut sauce and pair it with your favorite noodles (rice noodles, yakisoba, egg noodles, spaghetti--whatever you have on hand) for a satisfying bowl that is ready in just 15 minutes. Inspired by Chinese sesame noodles, this recipe relies on peanut butter instead of Chinese sesame paste (zhī ma jiàng) for a nutty, savory flavor, though feel free to sub in sesame paste (or use a combination of both) if you have it at home. The dish is easy to adapt: Add more chili crisp or ginger for a bolder version, a little more sugar for a sweeter sauce or a bit of water to thin it out.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
2 1/2 cups dry roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat 1 tablespoons olive oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat.

  • Bake peanuts until golden brown and almost dry, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer to paper towels; drain. Cool. (Peanuts can be made 3 days ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)
