📖 Recipe
Stir Fry Noodles With Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
Easiest Peanut Sauce Ever
- 0.3 oz coriander leaves with stems (10 g) or push to fit ¼ cup
- 1 garlic clove
- ½ thumb sized ginger
- 1 chili
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoon water
- 2 heap tbsp peanut butter (70 g)
- 1 ½ teaspoon sugar
- zest of 1 lime
- juice of ½ lime
The Rest
- 1 skinless & boneless chicken thigh , cut into strips & coat lightly with some oil
- 1 garlic clove , chopped
- ½ yellow onion , sliced
- ½ Italian green pepper , julienned
- red pepper , same amount as green pepper
- 1.8 oz dry flat rice noodles (50 g)
Instructions
Easiest Peanut Sauce Ever
- Place all ingredients in a chopper and blend into a smooth thick mixture. Set aside.
Prepping The Noodles
- Soak noodles in a bowl with hot water (not boiling) for 2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Stir Frying
- Heat a wok (or a pan) on medium high heat with some oil. Add in chicken and let it sit for a few minutes to brown. Stir everything and add in onion and garlic. Continue cooking until the onion gets translucent.
- Now add in both pepper and cook for 1 minute. Finally add in noodles and ½ of peanut sauce. Stir everything well. Use tongs to toss and mix better. Serve immediately.
Notes
- I'm using ½ of peanut sauce for 1 meal. You can double up the other ingredients and make 2 meals to use up all the peanut sauce. Or save the other half and use it as a dipping sauce for your grilled chicken, or meat or put it on your burger patty (yes, do try that).
- Serving Tip: serve hot with some lime wedges on the side and a sprinkle of coriander leaves. The lime really brightens up the flavors more. Optional, serve also some sliced chili and some peanuts.

Fiona Martin says
I absolutely love this recipe I have used it probably 3-4 times and its so nice. Thank you 🙂 Let me know does its freeze well ?
Bea says
That's awesome Fiona! From my personal experience, the flat rice noodles don't freeze as well (they tend to break when I defrost & reheat). You might want to change the type of noodles if you plan to freeze it. Hope it helps.
