These 20-Minute Spicy Peanut Noodles are better than takeout! Loaded with fresh veggies and a creamy, spicy peanut sauce for an easy vegan dinner.

  • Total Time: 20
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

For the Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari)

  • 2 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)

  • 1-2 tbsp maple syrup or brown sugar

  • 1-2 tsp sriracha or chili garlic paste (to taste)

  • 1 tsp rice vinegar

  • 1/3 cup warm water (to thin)

For the Noodles:

  • 8 oz noodles (ramen, rice noodles, or linguine)

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or vegetable oil

  • 2 cups mixed stir-fry veggies (bell peppers, carrots, snap peas, red cabbage)

  • 2 green onions, sliced

  • For garnish: chopped peanuts, cilantro, lime wedges

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

  2. Whisk all sauce ingredients (peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, maple syrup, sriracha, rice vinegar, and warm water) in a bowl until smooth.

  3. Heat oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat. Add harder vegetables and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until crisp-tender.

  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add cooked noodles and the prepared sauce to the skillet.

  5. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until heated through and evenly coated.

  6. Remove from heat and stir in green onions.

  7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts, cilantro, and a lime wedge.

Notes

  • Sauce Consistency: The sauce will thicken as it sits. Add more warm water, a tablespoon at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

  • Veggie Prep: Cut vegetables into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.

  • Make it Gluten-Free: Use tamari and gluten-free noodles.
