Description

A bold and flavorful noodle dish combining spicy peanut sauce with perfectly seared sausage slices, tossed together with noodles for a quick, satisfying meal.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 oz noodles (spaghetti, udon, or rice noodles)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 sausages (pork, chicken, or plant-based), sliced
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup warm water (to thin sauce)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts (for garnish)
  • Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet over medium-high heat, add 1 tablespoon sesame oil and sear sausage slices until browned and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, honey, ginger, garlic, and warm water until smooth.
