    Peanut Sesame Noodles Recipe

    This sesame noodles recipe is flavorful, light, way better than Asian take-away and perfect for lunch or dinner.

    Let me tell you about the sauce; it is amazing, made with soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and peanut butter. Can you imagine how delicious is this? It is tasty, creamy and rich.

    Regarding the noodles, use the kind you like; however, I really prefer thin noodles, such as Lo Mein noodles, as it gives a better result and texture.

    This dish is good; however, feel free to add some veggies or any protein you like.

    You'll Need

    Noodles: I used lo mein noodles, which work great with the sauce.

    Green onion: Add chopped green onions for great flavour, colour and texture to the dish.

    Peanuts: I topped this dish with some chopped peanuts for a nutty flavor. You can also use roasted peanuts if you like.

    Sesame seeds: You may add toasted sesame seeds for added crunch.

    For the peanut sesame sauce: I use sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, honey, Sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, creamy peanut butter, garlic, olive oil, fresh ginger and cornflour to thicken the sauce.

    Helpful Recipe Tips

    • The peanut sauce can get salty as it cooks. I recommend using unsalted peanut butter and low sodium soy sauce.
    • You can warm the peanut butter for 10-20 seconds to soften up so you can mix it easily.
    • If you have leftover sauce, you may store it for about a week in the fridge and warm it in a microwave before reheating it.
    • For extra sesame flavour, you can add ½ tablespoon sesame paste to the sauce.

    Pair It With

    These sesame noodles go well with many other dishes such as:

    • Homemade coleslaw salad
    • Rocket salad with parmesan
    • Spicy roasted cauliflower
    • Garlic butter chicken bites
    • Creamy garlic chicken
    Eating the peanut butter and sesame noodles with fork.

    Can I use spaghetti to make sesame noodles?

    Feel free to use any type of pasta or noodles, like soba, linguine, udon or any type; all would work well for this recipe.

    Can I use fresh noodles instead of dry noodles?

    Yes, of course, you can. Fresh noodles are a good choice; however, they will not suck up the sauce as much as the dried noodles.
