This delicious Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles comes together with ease, making it the type of meal that becomes a weekly staple!

Asian food is always great cuisine to turn to when I’m in a rush. There’s always stir fries, fried rice to the rescue for us. I don’t worry about the sauces and all the ingredients that a particular dish may require. Usually I go with what I have and it works…just like it did with these Spicy Thai  Peanut Noodles.

Since there were no Soba or Pad Thai noodles at home,  good ol’ spaghetti was used. Some coloured bell peppers, baby corn, mushrooms and one bok choy, made up for the veggies. You can easily add tofu, shrimps, eggs or chicken here to up the protein content and make it more hearty.

The spicy peanut sauce is a breeze to put together, thanks to the jar of peanut butter that’s always in my pantry. Full of bold flavours from fresh ginger , garlic and sriracha sauce..its so good that you can eat it by the spoonfuls!

Light yet immensely  satisfying, these  Thai Peanut Noodles are creamy, crunchy from all the vegetables and peanuts, spicy and over all so well-balanced in taste and textures.

They are great served warm or even cold. I would add the sauce right before serving though, to prevent the noodles from getting clumpy.
