Ingredients
- 8.8 ounce box of rice noodles (also known as Pad Thai noodles)
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1½ tablespoons fresh lime juice (1 lime)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon grated fresh garlic (2 large cloves)
- 1-2 teaspoons sriracha
Optional Garnishes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons scallions (thinly sliced)
- 1-2 tablespoons lightly salted peanuts (chopped)
Instructions
- In a large pot of boiling water, boil your rice noodles according to the package directions (approximately 5-7 minutes).
- While your noodles are boiling, you can make your sauce by whisking together, in a medium bowl, the creamy peanut butter, water, low-sodium soy sauce, brown sugar, fresh lime juice, toasted sesame oil, grated fresh garlic, and sriracha until the sauce is smooth. Set aside.
- Once your rice noodles are done cooking, drain the water from the noodles. You can reserve some of the hot cooking water to thin your sauce if needed.
- Transfer the hot cooked noodles to a large bowl and toss them with the reserved peanut sauce.
- Garnish with any, or all, of the optional toppings and serve while the peanut noodles are hot.
