Sesame peanut butter noodles can be made in under 10 minutes! The sesame peanut flavor satisfies Asian take-out food cravings. And, they’re so easy!

Sesame peanut butter noodles can be made in under 10 minutes!  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.  And, since I can make them at home, I can control the quality of the ingredients that go into them.  But, the best part is how quick and easy they are.

Start by cooking your favorite Asian noodle.  I have made this with soba noodles and even ramen noodles without the flavor packets.  Rice noodles would probably be great in this too.  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.  Just add some sesame oil, peanut butter, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger to a bowl.  Give it a good whisk, until it is well combined.  The peanut butter will break down and create a smooth, creamy sauce.

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

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

    I made this recipe as written, but added a few julienne vegetables and it was incredible! My husband is not a big fan of ginger, but raved on this recipe and said to keep and make it again. He also said it was as good as a restaurant and I have to agree, the balance of flavors and spices is perfect. I’ve tried quite a few similar recipes and they are either too sweet or acidic; this has all the right notes in perfect harmony. Thank you!!

    Heaven in a bowl! Used maple syrup instead of honey, whole wheat pasta, and crunchy peanut butter. Upped the peanut butter by about a tablespoon. And OMG it was good!

    This is such a great basic recipe that is very forgiving and takes additions well. I used Ramon noodles, added a little fish sauce, chicken, mushrooms, sambal, and julienne carrots. This will be a go to for Asian cravings.
