Sesame peanut butter noodles can be made in under 10 minutes!ย  I don’t think I could get Chinese take-out in 10 minutes.

I love these noodles because their sesame-peanut flavor really satisfies that Asian take-out food craving.ย  And, since I can make them at home, I can control the quality of the ingredients that go into them.ย  But, the best part is how quick and easy they are.

Start by cooking your favorite Asian noodle.ย  I have made this withย soba noodles and evenย ramen noodles without the flavor packets.ย  Rice noodles would probably be great in this too.ย  If you don’t have any Asian noodles, you could always just use some traditional pasta, like fettuccini or linguini.

As the noodles cook, make the sesame peanut butter sauce.ย  Just add some sesame oil, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to a bowl.ย  Give it a good whisk, until it is well combined.ย  The peanut butter will break down and create a smooth, creamy sauce.

Pour the sauce over the hot, drained noodles.ย  Then, stir the noodlesย to get them completely coated in sauce.

Just before serving, I like to top the noodles with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.ย  They add aย nice crunchy texture.ย  Chopped peanuts might be a good crunchy addition, as well.

    I made this recipe without the honey and added some pasta water. Then I put the sauce in the microwave for 2-3 minutes and served it with julienned cucumbers and chilies oil๐Ÿ˜‹
