Thai Peanut Noodles

I found this recipe in the Our Best Bites cookbook.  I have found a love for Pad Thai noodles and trying new sauces and combinations for the noodles.  This one was labeled one of their "most popular" and it was a success!
There are so many things you can add.  I added chicken and peas and left out the peanuts and cilantro.
Will definitely make again!
Thai Peanut Noodles
(Our Best Bites cookbook)
  • 8 ounces Udon or linguine noodles (or I used Pad Thai noodles)
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3 tbsp creamy peanut butter
  • 1-2 tsp Sriracha chili sauce (1 tsp mild, 2 tsp hot) ~ I used chili garlic sauce 1 tsp because I had it on hand
  • 1 1/2 tbsp honey
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tsp minced fresh ginger (used 1/4 tsp ground ginger)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Chopped green onions, cilantro, peanuts
  • 2 limes cut into quarters for garnish (optional)
  • Add ins:  Shredded chicken, peas, sprouts
Cook noodles in salted water according to pkg directions.  If using Pad Thai, follow pkg directions to cook and allow time to soak the noodles in water.

If using any add ins, cook the chicken and have shredded.  Have peas ready too.

While the noodles cook, combine the chicken broth, peanut butter, chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, giner and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.  Whisk until smooth and remove from heat.

Toss cooked noodles with sauce and toss with add ins also.  Separate into bowls and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and peanuts if desired.   Squeeze lime juice over bowls also if desired.

Enjoy!
