Spicy Peanut Noodles

Well, well, well. Here I am, back again with another noodle recipe! But are we complaining though? Noodles are just the gift that keeps on giving. And this Spicy Peanut Noodles recipe is super quick and easy. Everything done in only 10 minutes!

The best part is that you don’t really have to cook anything! Well, aside from boiling the noodles that is. But other than that, you just need to mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and coat the noodles properly.

The sauce ingredients blend really well together, creating a deep savory flavor that will make you want to devour the noodles. And the spiciness from the chili oil is the cream on top, tying the entire dish together.

This is a Quick Meals recipe that you’ll definitely want in your arsenal.

Ingredients

(For full ingredient measurements, please proceed to the recipe card below.)

  • Noodles
  • Persian cucumber

Sauce

  • Peanut butter 
  • Rice vinegar
  • Chili oil
  • Garlic 
  • Light soy sauce
  • Hot water/noodle water
  • Sugar

Garnish

  • Crushed peanuts
  • Green onions

Instructions

  1. Boil noodles until cooked and drain. Place it under cool running water for 30-60 seconds.
  2. In a bowl, add all the ingredients listed for the sauce. Mix well.
  3. Add the noodles into the same bowl and cucumbers. Mix well until every strand of noodle is coated.
  4. Garnish with crushed peanuts, more chili oil and green onions. Enjoy!

Notes for Spicy Peanut Noodles

  • Chili Oil: I usually use my homemade chili oil for most recipes but for this one, I like using Lao Gan Ma’s chili oil with black bean. In my opinion, the black bean flavor really completes this dish.
  • The amount of chili oil used should be up to preference.
  • Traditionally, sesame paste/tahini is used instead of peanut butter. I prefer using peanut butter but you can replace it with sesame paste/tahini if you want.
  • If you’re using chunky peanut butter, add another tablespoon for a creamier sauce. Adjust accordingly.
  • The type of peanut butter used is up to preference. I used peanut butter with no added sugar. If your peanut butter is already sweet, omit/lessen the amount of sugar. 
  • Start with 2 tbsp of hot water, add more if needed and should depend on the type of peanut butter you use. You don’t want the sauce to be too watery.

    What would be the process of you wanted to add chicken?

      Season and cook the chicken however you want it beforehand then just add when you’re mixing the noodles. I prefer cutting it into smaller pieces or shredding but that is up to your preference 🙂

The best pizza in the city where pizza was invente The best pizza in the city where pizza was invented @farahjeats 🍕 
📍Pizzeria Da Michele, Naples, Italy 
📍 Pizzeria D’angeli, Naples, Italy
We got pizza from one of the oldest pizzerias in Naples, Italy and it didn’t disappoint. We got there right when it opened and there was already a line. We ended up getting the pizzas to-go and ate it on the hood of our rental car. Each box of pizza was only €5 and we got every item on the menu (it was only a 4 item menu anyway 😂). While waiting in line, the smell of the wood fired pizza was sooo good we were so hungry by the time we got our orders. We got pizzas from across the street too just to compare. There was no line at that restaurant and you could easily get a table. It was a little bit more expensive per pizza but still affordable. Both pizzas were delicious! Still dreaming about it till this day 🥲
Fun fact: Eat, Pray, Love was filmed at Pizzeria Da Michele!

Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats Mee Mee Goreng (stir fried noodles) @farahjeats 
Mee (mie) goreng, a quick and easy stir fried noodles recipe that’s great for lunch or dinner. Popular in Malaysia and neighboring countries like Indonesia and Singapore— with each country having their own version of it. Chewy noodles infused with spicy, tangy and savory flavors, and ready within 30 minutes!
This is definitely not an authentic recipe but a simplified version that my mother-in-law makes often and now a recipe that I make quite a lot for a quick breakfast using ingredients easily accessible to us here. It definitely hits the spot! Feel free to add protein of your choice to this dish or just add a fried egg on top! 
I’ll work on an authentic Malaysian mee goreng recipe and share soon ☺️

Try these Crispy Air Fried Crab Stick Crackers for size. A classic snack that could almost always be seen during Chinese New Year festivities in Malaysia. All you need are some crab sticks, a bit of seasoning, and a few tablespoons of oil!
This is such an easy and addictive snack. I always have to make a lot if I’m sharing because I tend to finish the first batch all by myself 😂

Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Cocon Ramadan recipe #21 Rendang Ayam (Dry Chicken Coconut Curry) @farahjeats 
Save and share this flavorful and delicious recipe!
Ending my Ramadan series with one of the best dishes. This is a dish that’s traditionally served during Eid/Raya in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. Every family usually has their own version of this. It’s usually served with nasi impit (cubed rice), lemang or pulut kuning (turmeric glutinous rice) but also just as good with white rice. 
Making this is a truly a labor of love especially when you make big batches. It can take hours! Families will cook this the night before Eid so the dish will be ready in time for the big celebration. The whole house will usually smell like rendang when this is made and honestly, one of the best smells that reminds me of such great and fond memories. 
This month just flew by— thanks so much for tuning in. I’ll be back with my usual twice a week recipes starting next week 💛
