Thai Peanut Noodles

Skip the takeout and try this make this delicious recipe for Thai Peanut Noodles tossed in a creamy peanut sauce and topped with lots of fresh herbs, chopped green onion and crunchy peanuts!

I’m addicted to these Thai Peanut Noodles! Hot or cold they are delicious! These noodles are loaded with veggies and rice noodles and tossed in a creamy peanut sauce that you could eat with a spoon! To make these noodles even better I add in lots of fresh mint, basil, cilantro and chopped peanuts for a little crunch.

The herbs are an essential part of this recipe. The combination of mint, basil and cilantro add such freshness and flavor to these noodles. If you make this recipe don’t skip all the herbs!

These Thai Peanut Noodles are great served hot or cold so you could easily make this for one tasty lunch.

If you like saucy noodles I suggest adding less noodles as indicated in my recipe which I have noted as well. I make this with a full box of stir-fry rice noodles which typically is about 14 ounces so it isn’t very saucy as most of the peanut sauce is absorbed into the noodles which I personally like. If you like more sauce I suggest adding only 10-12 ounces of rice noodles so you get more sauce. Also if you don’t have rice noodles you could substitute for linguine or even spaghetti noodles however I recommend using it with the rice noodles which you can easily find in the ethnic section at most grocery stores.

These Thai Peanut Noodles are loaded with veggies. I personally like sliced bell peppers, chopped cabbage and carrots however you can use whatever veggies you’d like. You can even toss it with some chicken if you’d like too.
