Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sesame or peanut oil
  • 1/4 cup green onions or scallions sliced
  • 3-4 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • Chili flakes or Korean chili flakes
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 4 squares brown rice ramen noodles or 6 ounces rice noodles
  • 1/3 cup tamari or soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons tahini
  • 2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup peanuts chopped

Instructions

  • Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Add the brown rice ramen noodles or rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  • In a skillet or wok, heat the sesame or peanut oil over medium heat. Add the grated garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
  • Sprinkle in the chili flakes according to your spice preference. Stir to combine, letting the spices bloom in the oil for another minute.
  • In the same skillet, add the tamari or soy sauce, creamy peanut butter, tahini, and honey or maple syrup. Stir everything together until the ingredients are fully combined and the sauce is smooth.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until they are well coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of water to reach your desired consistency.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the chopped cilantro and green onions. Top with chopped peanuts for an added crunch.
  • Dish out your 20 Minute Garlic Oil Schezwan Peanut Noodles into bowls and enjoy immediately. These noodles are perfect on their own or as a side dish to your favorite protein!
