Storing & reheating
Have leftovers? Lucky you. Store them in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply microwave for 34-50 seconds or add to a shallow pan and let simmer on your stove for 2-3 minutes. To thin the sauce, add a few tablespoons of water or low sodium soy sauce.
Can I freeze this recipe? I don’t recommend freezing this recipe as pasta and peanut butter don’t freeze well.

Peanut Noodles

Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
- Add your pasta and let cook until al dente while you prepare your sauce.Be sure to reserve 1/3 cup of pasta water.
- Chop the garlic and ginger really fine and set aside until ready to use.
- To a large frying pan set to medium heat, add the olive oil.
- Once hot, add the garlic and ginger and let saute for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to low/medium and add the peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice wine vinegar, honey and sriracha. Let simmer, stirring often, until combined well.Sammy's Tip: if the sauce appears to be chunky, continue whisking together, breaking down the peanut butter with the whisk or spoon until smooth.
- Add the cooked pasta and 1/4 cup of reserved pasta water and mix together until well combined and the sauce begins to turn silky and creamy.
- Add the remaining pasta water if you want the sauce a bit thinner and even creamier.
- Dish up and top with green onions and sesame seeds.

This recipe was so easy to make and ridiculously good. Added some chicken for extra protein and the green onion on top 10/10 will for sure make this over and over again!
Hi Haley! Thank you so much for this awesome review!
This recipe was so so so good! I’ve been struggling with an ED lately and have been on the hunt for some new recipes that wont trigger it and this was one I was crossing my fingers on and it delivered! I saw it on tik tok and thought it might be good because my biggest roadblocks are time/effort and texture and this was genuinely so easy. And most of the ingredients I already had. And it tasted great! Will definitely be making this one again.
Hi Darian. Thank you for sharing this with me, and I am so glad you enjoyed this recipe. Wishing you nothing but the very best. xo
Just what we needed tonight…you never disappoint..so happy I came across your IG…and now love your website..been telling all my friends😁
Hi Pamela, thank you for being here! It means so much to me!
Hi Sammy! I really enjoyed making this dish. I’m actually allergic to peanuts so I substituted the peanut butter with sunflower butter. It still tasted really good, but the sauce dries up really quickly. I’m not sure if it’s because I subbed out real peanut butter. Wondering if you have a recommendation for that. Otherwise, tasty recipe ☺️
Hi Stephanie! Thank you for this review! I would recommend reserving the pasta water to thin the sauce out and eat it right away. Hope this helps. -Sammy
