Sesame Peanut Noodles Recipe

Sesame Peanut Noodles

I always make a large vat of these since they're lovely to keep to pick at in the fridge, too. Plus, although they're easy to make, you do need quite a few ingredients - and this holds true whether you're making a small or big batch, so you may as well go all out.

What you'll need

For the Dressing:

  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic-infused oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons sweet chile sauce
  • 1/3 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice

For the Salad:

  • 11/4 lbs cooked egg noodles
  • 2 cups bean sprouts, rinsed
  • 11/2 cups snow peas
  • 1 red pepper, seeded and cut into small strips
  • 2 scallions, finely sliced
  • 1/4 cup sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

How to make it

  1. Whisk together all of the dressing ingredients in a bowl or small pitcher.
  2. Put the noodles, bean sprouts, snow peas, sliced red pepper, and sliced scallions into a bowl.
  3. Pour over the dressing and mix thoroughly to coat everything well.
