Noodles with peanut sauce: Nina Bolders Food Photography

QUICK & EASY NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE

This is one of my quick and easy vegan recipes which are easily cooked somewhere else. You only need about 20 minutes and a couple of things from the supermarket. You don’t need any fancy kitchen devices for these peanut noodles. They are a perfect crowd pleaser after a long day at the beach or snowboarding. 

You can make these incredibly tasty peanut noodles for lunch or dinner, for guests, as a main course or side dish. They can be enjoyed warm or cold and be prepared for a picknick or a long trip.

What can I add to the noodles with peanut sauce?

This recipe for noodles with peanut sauce is basic on purpose, so you’re invited to add things like:

  • onions
  • garlic
  • beans
  • other vegetables
  • tofu
  • meat replacements

I like to make this Southeast Asian inspired noodle dish when visiting my dad, whose kitchen cabinets are almost empty and who refuses to eat onions. Or I make the peanut noodles to use up what’s in the fridge before flying.

What do you need for the noodles with peanut sauce?

You need noodles. They are usually vegan, but there are some that contain eggs, so you want to check the label. In an emergency I would go for Spaghetti if the little shop at the camping site doesn’t have much to choose from. 

I went for broccoli and carrots as vegetables, but of course they are interchangeable. 

For the sauce you’ll need peanut butter. If it is salt-free, you might need a little more soy sauce. 

If you’d rather have a sauce without coconut milk or oat milk, you can just use water. 

When I’m cooking for a group, there is usually one person who doesn’t like cilantro. That’s why I often serve it separately. Or I just use parsley. 

I always serve the peanut noodles with extra soy sauce and chili on the table.
