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.
These noodles are delicious as-is. But, occasionally I make them with a few additions to make them more like a full meal. Sometimes I add cooked, shredded chicken breast for added protein. I have also added a bag of frozen stir fry vegetables that have been cooked according to the package directions.
Here’s the recipe. Enjoy!

Tried this recipe! Love it! Thank you!
So good!!!!! I would definitely make this again!! Thank you!
My friend and I loved this recipe; in fact, we plan on making a double batch of it last time so we have leftovers!
Simply delicious. Easy, using mostly pantry items. I’m usually not into sweet dishes, but the combination here is complex and savory. I used fettucine and not having any fresh ginger, substituted crystalized ginger.
This was a great recipe! I removed the honey because I was using coconut aminos in place of soy sauce which is already sweet and reduced the rice vinegar to just 1 tbsp and it came out perfect.
Very good! I add shredded carrots, green onions and sesame seeds. Would also be good with crushed red pepper.
This was delicious and I just used spaghetti noodles! Thanks for the recipe!
This recipe has become a staple in my home. I do up the measurement of peanut butter to 2 tablespoons and garlic to 2 cloves. I don’t drain my lomein noodles too much because the sauce thickens so much after you add them and they do need some extra liquid. We love it!
The only problem I had with this recipe is that I didn’t make enough. Sooo good that i should have made twice, or even 3 times, the amount for my fam.
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 oil😋
Super delicious I added slightly more soy sauce and also 5 spice powder. Cooked with soba noodles it makes for a quick and yummy lunch.
Fast, easy and my 7 year old liked it too! Great flavour!
Served with some grilled chicken and steamed veggies too.
Is the honey mandatory? Are there any other substitutes?
Delicious and quick and easy to make!
Thank you for the great recipe!
