    About these vegan peanut noodles

    Peanut butter in sauces makes such a great ingredient, and it's even better when paired with chewy, delicious noodles.

    The flavours in this meal are nutty and savoury, with a hint of spice. The vegetables bring in plenty of texture and really enhance the dish with their natural flavours. But despite how easy this meal is, you only need around 15 minutes to make it!

    Serve peanut noodles for a quick lunch or dinner whenever you're short on time. They're ideal for a cold evening, when you need a big bowl of comfort with minimal fuss.

    What noodles should I use?

    You can use any noodles of your choice. Just check the back of the packaging to make sure that they're vegan and don't contain any products such as eggs or milk.

    Here, I used gluten-free rice noodles. But varieties such as ramen noodles or soba noodles also work really well as a great option!

    What vegetables can I add?

    What I love about vegan peanut noodles is just how versatile they are! It's a great dinner for cleaning out the fridge and using up any spare vegetables. I kept things very simple and used carrots and green peas, but, vegetables such as Pak Choi, bell peppers, broccoli and snow peas also work well.

    Peanut butter sauce

    This peanut butter sauce is rich and packed full of flavour, but requires just a handful of ingredients. These are:

    • Peanut butter. You can use either smooth or crunchy peanut butter. If you feel like switching it up, use another nut butter variety of your choice.
    • Tomato paste. This goes really well with the flavor of peanut butter.
    • Soy sauce. If you want to keep this dish gluten-free, use tamari (together with gluten-free noodles).
    • Rice vinegar. Apple cider vinegar or lemon juice also work if you don't have rice vinegar on hand.

    How to make vegan peanut noodles

    Cook the noodles according to packaging instructions, which usually takes around 10 minutes.

    Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a large pan over a medium-high heat and add the carrots, garlic and onion. Cook for 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften.

    Next, add the peanut butter, tomato paste, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Stir together thoroughly to combine the sauce ingredients.

    Finally, drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water before adding them to the pan together with the green peas. Stir together, and serve when all the noodles are coated in the sauce.
