SPICY THAI PEANUT NOODLES



Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles image

This Thai peanut noodle dish is a delicious recipe with just the right amount of heat! It's simple to prepare, but requires a bit of organization while assembling/cooking, because it goes quickly. Preparing your ingredients beforehand is key! For vegetarians, you can make this without the chicken and fish sauce and it tastes just as good! Serve hot. You could also garnish this with chopped unsalted peanuts.

THAI PASTA WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Thai Pasta with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

We love how the whole wheat pasta and crisp, raw vegetables blend with the rich and creamy peanut sauce. The addition of fresh lime juice really brightens the flavor of the dish. Some eat it hot, but my husband and I prefer to wait until it's closer to room temperature. -Donna McCallie, Lake Park, Florida

SPICY THAI PEANUT SAUCE



Spicy Thai Peanut Sauce image

This peanut sauce is very flavorful, with lemon, ginger, and quite a bit of heat. It's good with satays, stir-frys, rice bowls, or good as a dip. Don't be afraid to add more or less of the spices, just add to taste! Store in the fridge up to one week.

SPICY THAI PEANUT NOODLES



Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles image

A lovely spicy, peanuty sauce over spaghetti noodles and vegetables. I really prefer natural peanut butter in this, but that is up to you. Altering the peanut butter and honey can dramatically change this dish, so if you don't like it one way, try it again altering some ingredients.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
  • Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions, but be sure to cook it al dente (slightly firm to the bite). This will help the pasta hold its shape and texture when you toss it with the sauce.
  • Use a High-Quality Peanut Butter: The peanut butter is the key ingredient in this sauce, so be sure to use a high-quality brand that you enjoy the taste of. A natural peanut butter with no added sugar or oil is a good choice.
  • Adjust the Spices to Your Taste: The amount of chili paste and Sriracha in this sauce is adjustable to your taste. If you like spicy food, add more; if you prefer a milder sauce, use less.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs and Vegetables: Once the pasta is cooked and tossed with the sauce, garnish it with fresh herbs (such as cilantro or basil) and vegetables (such as peanuts, scallions, or cucumbers) for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

This Thai pasta with spicy peanut sauce is a quick, easy, and delicious weeknight meal. The combination of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover pasta. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting pasta dish to try, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
