The quickest noodle dish you could ever whip up in less than 30 minutes. Full of flavor, and can be served as a side or main!

Guys. I’m a little obsessed with these noodles. I had this about 4 times in the last 1 1/2 days.
It’s the peanut sauce that I can’t get enough of. A peanut sauce so easy and so so good made with a few pantry staples – PB, soy sauce, garlic, honey, ginger, rice vinegar, sesame oil and Sriracha.
You can also toss in all your veggies for a true clean-out-the-fridge meal!

I’ve made this a couple times and its delicious! Mine always comes out with too much peanut butter flavor though! The first time I did 1/4 cup like the recipe calls for but that was too much for me. I used less the next time I did it and still to peanut buttery! Do you have a trick to cancel out the peanut butter taste?
It sounds like you’re on the right path! You can always try to use less peanut butter, to taste.
Once again your recipe does not dissapoint! YUM! really, really good flavor
I made this last night, it was delicious, a huge hit with my sons! I am doing your fish Taco’s tonight! Thank you Chungah for your inspiring and tasty recipes.
You’re sweet, thank you!
Thank you for this recipe! I made it last night and the first thing my boyfriend said was “Oh my God. This sauce is so good!” My 11 yo daughter liked it as well! We used vermicelli bean thread for our noodles since it was what we had on hand and it turned out great!
That’s great! I’m glad the substitution turned out well 🙂
Wow! You knocked it out of the park with this one! We loved it! Will make this again soon. You’ve really got a knack for putting winning flavours together.
Being a diabetic it would be very helpful to me if you could have nutritional values on all of your recipes. I do make a number of them.
Thank you.
Hi Lou! Nutritional information is actually provided only for select and new recipes at this time. However, if it is not available for a specific recipe, I recommend using free online resources at your discretion (you can Google “nutritional calculator”) to obtain such information. Hope that helps!
Made this tonight. Awesome! Thank you!
I can’t love this recipe enough! Find the fish sauce or order off Amazon if you can’t. The flavor oomph is too wonderful not to enjoy. I agree any noodle will work just fine. I use the Tinkyada brown rice pasta fettuccine style (pad thai) 14 oz. and double the recipe. Even with just the two of us, it’s gone in a couple of days. We like it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes toss some extra veggies in just to get my daily dose. Thank you Chungah!
This sauce. I’d put it on anything. I just made this using red and green cabbage, thick chewy udon noodles, and sesame seeds and cilantro on top. Extra chunky peanut butter means no need to chop up extra peanuts. I’m sure it would be great cold, too. A new go-to!
Could I use bok choy instead of the cabbage in this recipe or even in addition to? I have some I’m trying to use up. Thanks!
Absolutely – what a great idea!
Me and my boyfriend love this we added broccoli and more noodles (by accident) and just doubled the sauce and it came out so good. We are thinking about adding water chestnuts and bean sprouts next time as well.
The first time I made this as written, and it was great. This time I wasn’t feeling the meat and wanted to use GF noodles so I used soba noodles and it was awesome. I cooked the cabbage just a bit as well. Much better than the first time.
Tried this tonight and it needed just a bit of doctoring, although we may have used a tad bit too much peanut butter. But for the most part it was fantastic, and we’re adding it to the rotation! Family of 4 including a picky 8 and 10 year old, both of whom really liked it.
Ridiculously good!! My husband and I demolished it. Next time I’m gonna try it with udon noodles! Thanks!
GENIUS idea!
Loved this meal! The cilantro and peanuts were perfect! Couldn’t find refrigerated yaki soba noodles but found some oriental noodles that took maybe 3 minutes to cook and they worked great. Thank you for sharing!
I made the sauce and put it on zucchini noodles (spiral cut zucchini) with a bit of carrot and topped with cilantro- it was pretty darn tasty. Next time Im going to add tofu and green onions, then Im going to chill it before I eat it.
I’m honestly so grateful for your blog, because it has totally taught me how to cook. All of my go-to recipes are from here. Loved these noodles, and everything you post!
Just made this for dinner and it was sooo tasty. Thanks for the recipe!
Hi what if I don’t have rice vinegar ? Can I substitute for some thing else?
Cider vinegar would be a great substitute.
Made this tonight for the first time and it was fab!! Absolutely loved it! The peanut sauce is amazing. I just used rice noodles because that’s what I had on hand and I also just used a bagged cabbage & carrot mix, no chopping while my kids are screaming hangry…sign me up! Done and done. Amazing recipe, will make it again for sure.
