Ingredients

Noodles

  • 6 oz wonton noodles

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tsp hoisin sauce
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 2 tsp chili garlic sauce (optional)

Garnish

  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • 1 scallion, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Cook the Noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the wonton noodles according to the package instructions, usually around 3-4 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Sauce: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, water, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce if using. Microwave for 30 seconds to one minute until the mixture is warm. Whisk thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
  3. Toss Noodles with Sauce: Pour the warm peanut butter sauce over the drained noodles. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat the noodles evenly with the sauce.
  4. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the sesame seeds and sliced scallions over the noodles for a crunchy and fresh finish. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy peanut butter noodles.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce to suit your spice preference or omit for a milder flavor.
  • Use gluten-free soy sauce to make this dish gluten-free.
  • This dish is best served fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the noodles.
  • Add cooked vegetables or protein like tofu or chicken for a heartier meal.
  • Microwaving the sauce helps it blend smoothly, but warming gently on the stovetop works as well.
