Thai Peanut Chicken Noodles
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!

Tried this recipe for the first time and it came out very well. Thanks Chungah. The dish is a hit at home
Absolutely delicious!! Dinner with young kids can be difficult. My kids (age 6,4 and 2) gobbled this up and asked for more. I ended up using spaghetti because that’s what I had and it worked well. Def a go to meal and perfect for a weeknight as its quick and easy.
Can you heat up day old rotisserie Chicken to include in these noodles? Can’t wait to make it tomorrow!
Yes, what a great idea to repurpose leftovers!
This looks amazing!!! Do you think I could substitute a cole slaw mix for the shredded cabbage & carrots?
Yes, absolutely.
Made this last night, so so good!!! I couldn’t find Yakisoba so I used regular soba noodles.The regular soba had a great flavour but were quite skinny. I looked further into it today and found that Yakisoba are similar to Raman so I will try those next time. Also, I used bagged coleslaw for the cabbage and carrots. I did add extra carrots as well. I loved this, and will make again!
This has to be one of your best recipes yet!! I made it last night, and it was so incredibly flavourful and delicious!! We sooooo love your Asian/Thai recipes Chungah, please keep them coming. I will make them all!
Thank you so much for your fantastic contribution to my recipe collection, and our pleasure in eating the beautiful meals your recipes create. I will make them over and over again.

We made these and they were delicious! Used regular vegetable spaghetti and added a tablespoon of sherry to the sauce mix but otherwise made it just as directed and they were wonderful!!
Looks wonderful!! Love the addition of the peanuts (: I need to cook noodles like this more often.
I love making Asian food at home. It’s so much better than going out too eat!
I can’t find these refrigerated noodles, is there a good substitute?
Any noodle of your choice should work just fine.
I used packaged Vietnamese vermicelli noodles…perfect!
What can I use instead of the specified noodles????
Any noodle of your choice should work just fine.
What would be a good sub for the refrigerated noodles? We don’t see those around here. Spaghetti? Dried ramen? soba?
All will work! 🙂
Hi Chungah, where would I find the refrigerated yaki soba noodles at the store? Should it be w/ the produce near the cabbage? This is where the egg roll wrappers are but I haven’t seen the noodles. Do you have the name of the brand so I can check if that is carried in my area? I’m looking forward to making this recipe for my family, it looks very delicious. 🙂
Maruchan is the name of the brand.
Can I use chow mein noodles?
Yes, absolutely. What a great idea!
MAde this
today with Nanka Seimen noodles..turned out amazing!!thanks for sharing your great recipe!
This looks great but I’m allergic to peanuts. Have you ever substituted cashews or almonds? And if so, how did it taste/work out? Substituting doesn’t always work out but I do it for Chinese recipes that call for peanuts, just never Thai.
I actually haven’t – sorry!
I made this tonight with sunbutter and it was delicious!
Could I substitute rice vermicelli noodles?
Yes!
What kind of noodles did you use?
I used Yaki-Soba noodles.
Can’t wait to make this dsh to. I’ve made many of your dishes, and my family love them. Thank you
THIS sounds amazing!! I think I’ll make it with Tofu and instead of chicken. Too much chicken for me lately- lol
Try shrimp, salmon, cod, etc.0
You are just adorable. I love everything that you come up with. So I finally just named a board with your name. Hope that’s okay. Keep on enjoying what it is you love doing.
