Spicy Peanut Noodles with Chili Crisp
Spicy Udon Noodles with Chili Crisp! Cold, slurpy noodles with a spicy peanut sauce. The perfect side or main for hot summer days.
Ingredients
- 14 ounces udon noodles, or thick wheat noodles
- 1/4 cup peanut butter
- 3 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 inch fresh ginger, grated
- 2 teaspoons chili crisp, plus more for garnish (like my quick homemade chili crisp recipe)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 large cucumber, seeded and thinly sliced
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1/3 cup chopped roasted peanuts
Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to package directions, then rinse in cold water and pat dry.
- While the noodles are cooking, make the sauce. Whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, maple syrup, ginger, chili crisp and garlic.
- Add the sauce to the noodles along with the cucumber, cilantro, and peanuts and toss to combine. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
This makes enough for a side dish for 4-- or a main for 2. This one is great for summer, especially alongside anything on the grill!
I love spicy food, so I usually drizzle on more chili crisp after plating.
