Ingredients

For the Noodles

  • 200 grams noodles Use any type such as spaghetti or udon.

For the Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter Adds creaminess and nutty flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce Enhances umami notes.
  • 1 tablespoon chili oil Adds a spicy kick.
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar Rounds out the flavors.
  • 1 tablespoon Chinese black vinegar or rice vinegar Adds acidity.

For Adjusting Consistency

  • Hot noodle cooking water Use as needed.

For Garnish

  • Chopped cilantro Brightens the dish.
  • Chopped green onions Adds a delightful crunch.

Instructions

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, about 4–5 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil, honey (or sugar), and vinegar until smooth.
  • Drain the noodles in a colander without rinsing. Return them to the pot and pour in the peanut sauce. Toss gently to coat.
  • If the sauce is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of hot cooking water gradually while tossing.
  • Drizzle extra chili oil on top, then sprinkle with cilantro and green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid rinsing noodles after cooking; the starch helps the sauce adhere. Garnish generously for better flavor.
