Just before I started uni, Mum introduced me to these amazing vegan Thai Peanut Noodles. Being a Thai food fan, it soon became one of my favourites and I cooked it so many times at my place. 


There is always HOMEMADE THAI PASTE, green and red in my fridge. However, for this recipe, I have used peanut butter and thai sweet chilli for the sauce. It definitely tastes so much better than takeaways, is healthier and packed with nutrition.

FLAVOURS OF VEGAN THAI PEANUT NOODLES


We’ve got some colourful vegetables that are stir-fried in toasted sesame oil, on the right temperature and time, so they stay colourful and crunchy. 

The sauce which is the backbone of this dish is a mixture of smooth peanut butter, soy, sweet chilli, and sriracha sauce then gently stirred in boiled noodles. 

Not least but last generous amount of lime juice, freshly chopped coriander, roasted peanuts, and spring onion makes this dish complete.

VEGAN THAI PEANUT NOODLES INGREDIENTS



Noodles– I have used dried egg-free noodles but you can use fresh egg noodles or dried pasta such as linguine. 


Sesame oil – We love to use toasted sesame oil in our noodles recipe, but if you can’t find use normal sesame or peanut oil.


Vegetables – For this recipe, you will need colourful vegetables which can be cooked in a short time such as carrots, capsicum, spring onion, ginger and garlic. 


Peanut Sauce – As the recipe name suggests, we will need peanut butter, soy sauce and to add a little kick to the noodles sriracha or any other HOT chilli sauce will do the job. I used a mixture of smooth and crunchy peanut butter but you can either. If you use crunchy, you can leave out the addition of the roasted peanuts. 


Sweetener – These noodles are a combination of all the flavours. sweet, spicy and little tangy, for sweetener we have used Thai sweet chilli sauce but if you can’t find it, brown or regular sugar will do the same trick. For tanginess use lime or lemon juice. 


Garnish – There is no doubt that once the noodles are ready, you want to dig in but a garnish would make the dish extra special and attractive, use freshly chopped coriander, crushed roasted peanuts and spring onion greens. Serve with lime/lemon wedges.
