Spicy Peanut Noodles. Chewy wide noodles smothered in a sweet garlic peanut chili oil with green onions. Delicious with a spicy kick and easy to make in under 15 minutes! A wonderful side dish for lunch or dinner. This dish is vegan.
There is nothing like a good bowl of hot and spicy peanut butter noodles to cure any bad day! Give me a big bowl of these noodles with some bok choy and I am a happy girl. I love the numbing spice to these noodles with the savoury taste from the garlic and the sweetness from the peanut butter. This dish is popular for good reason because the taste palate is very appeasing to many. It can also be served as cold spicy peanut noodles too!
I love the taste of spicy sesame peanut noodles because its sweet and salty thanks to the sugar and the soy sauce. I feel like this dish really hits all of your tastebuds and that’s why this dish is so addictive.

Where can I find dan dan noodles?
Any Asian grocer will carry them in the dried noodle aisle. If you don't have an Asian grocer nearby, feel free to substitute with fettucine or spaghetti!
Where can I find Sichuan Red Chili Flakes?
Most Asian grocers will carry them in the spice aisle.
Tips for this spicy Asian peanut noodles recipe
- Make your sauce first and then boil the noodles. The heat from the noodles and residual moisture will allow for the noodles to mix thoroughly in the sauce.
- Mix your sauce with a whisk! This ensures your sauce is well incorporated.
- Use quality peanut butter. This will make a big difference in the taste of your sauce. But of course, if you don’t have quality PB, use what you have on hand!
- Don’t overcook your noodles. Just boil them for only 3-4 minutes or less (monitor & taste) and immediately strain them.
