TIPS FOR SPICY PEANUT NOODLE STIR-FRY

  • Enhance The Sauce: If the peanut sauce is too thick, thin it out with a splash of warm water or low-sodium soy sauce.
  • Boost The Spice: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or sriracha for extra heat.
  • Prevent Sticking: Toss the cooked noodles with a small amount of oil before adding them to the pan.
  • Extra Crunch: Sprinkle crushed peanuts or sesame seeds over the top for added texture.
  • Balance Flavours: A squeeze of lime juice can enhance the dish’s overall taste and freshness.

VARIATIONS

  • Protein-Packed: Add tofu, chicken, shrimp or tempeh for extra protein.
  • Low-Carb Option: Swap out the whole wheat noodles for zucchini noodles or spaghetti squash.
  • Gluten-Free: Use rice noodles instead of whole wheat noodles to keep it gluten-free.
  • Nut-Free: Substitute peanut sauce with a sunflower seed butter sauce for an allergy-friendly version.
  • Veggie-Loaded: Incorporate bell peppers, snap peas, or baby spinach for added nutrition and colour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in a pan over medium heat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.
  • Freezing: This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but you can freeze the noodles and vegetables separately for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Meal Prep: Cook the noodles and prepare the vegetables in advance, storing them separately. Toss everything together just before serving for maximum freshness.
