    SPICY THAI PEANUT NOODLES — Ramen noodles are sauteed in sweet and spicy sauce, then tossed with chopped peanuts and green onions in this easy vegetarian dish the whole family will love.


    Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles

    We love ordering Chinese take-out, but simple dishes like these Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles are so easy, I can whip dinner up at home in less time than it takes to get delivery.

    And as the mother of teenage boys, it’s a safe bet that anything that starts with Ramen noodles is going to be a hit around here. Some of my kids practically live on that stuff!

    I make them add grated carrots so it’s slightly nutritious–but there’s something to be said for your children fixing their own lunch or dinner sometimes.

    Besides the noodles, you all this dish requires is a sweet and tangy sauce made with soy sauce, Chinese Black Vinegar and Sichuan peppercorns, plus some finely chopped peanuts, sesame seeds and green onions.

    These noodles really are so easy to make, and are perfect as a main dish or a side. You could even add shrimp or chicken for a heartier meal.

    Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles

    I couldn’t find Chinese black vinegar or the peppercorns locally, so I ordered both on Amazon. But if you don’t want to wait, you can use a combination of balsamic vinegar and rice wine vinegar. And for the Sichuan peppercorns, try using regular peppercorns and coriander seeds.

    I’ve linked to the vinegar and peppercorns I used in the recipe card below. If you’re like me and you always have Ramen noodles in your pantry, this is a meal you can whip up at a moment’s notice on a busy weeknight.

    I almost always have the ingredients on hand, and since my kids are experts at cooking Ramen noodles, they can always help me get this meal on the table.

    And of course, making homemade Thai noodles at home is so much more economical that ordering them from a restaurant.

    If you need a quick, flavorful meal made with inexpensive ingredients, then these Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles are just what you’re looking for. Enjoy!


    Be sure to save this recipe for Spicy Thai Peanut Noodles to your favorite Pinterest board for later.
