Spicy Peanut Noodles with Steak

Peanut Noodles with Steak

Get Recipe!

I was inspired to make this dish thanks to Five Ingredient Fix’s recipe for Chilled Peanut Soba Noodles. I changed a lot of elements to the preparation of this dish but it is still super easy and requires few ingredients. It has a Thai-flare to it so I thought it would be the perfect place to begin our Pan-Asian foodie adventure. As I said, no borders!

This spicy peanut sauce definitely helps me escape the February cold and takes me some place warm and beautiful.

Peanut Noodles with Steak

You begin with a 1/4 cup of peanut butter, a 1/4 cup of rice vinegar and 1 tbsp of soy sauce (I recommend Tamari light) and a smidge of hot sauce. I used Sriracha and just a tiny bit because I am a wuss when it comes to heat but a little rocks.

See that little red dot? That is how much hot sauce I use.

When you first start whisking, it will look like this, awful I know! But keep whisking!

Soon it will get nice and creamy.

Just so you know, that is not enough noodles. The original recipe calls for 8 oz of noodles but I usually like more sauce than most people so I am always experimenting. Just a bit more than this would have been perfect. I used a high fibre spaghettini noodle instead of Soba noodle, they are more economical and help fill me up quickly so I do not eat too much of this dish which would be more than easy to do. I am a noodle fiend!

I like to strain the noodles, I do not rinse them and while they are hot, put them in the room temperature sauce and toss. Personally, I have had them cold like the original recipe prepares them and personally think that having them warm or at room temperature is the better way to go. I added some barbecued beef slices on top but I have made this with shrimp and chicken before so do as you please! I personally think the beef if the most tastiest version.

I want that bite right now! It is very rare that I make a dish twice in a lifetime. This dish? I make twice a week! I swear, I do. I love it. It is my perfect lunch because I can make it fast and with leftover protein from the night before. I must admit that lunch is the meal I miss the most often so I am very grateful for this recipe. For additional Thai flavouring you could add chopped peanuts, deep fried tofu, green onions…

If you follow me on Twitter or are a fan of my Facebook page, these are the spicy noodles I keep raving about! I hope you give them a shot, the sauce is perfectly balanced and if you can get just the right amount of heat and noodles, you will love these.

A delicious lunch ready in five minutes that takes me away from this cold reality gets my stamp of approval. Big time!

    Does look yummy!!
    The nice thing about soba noodles – gluten free 🙂 I love the variety of GF noodles – the fat rice noodles they use in Thai restaurants are esp good! & I’d like to try some with sorghum flour, one of my favorites!

    Suzie, I do believe you’ve read my mind! (Or maybe my cauldron necklace ha us psychically connected). I’ve gone gluten-free, which has me thinking about food non-stop (inevitable) and I was recalling how much I like a good peanut sauce.. I may have to wing it with what I have on hand, but yummy! Now I’m drooling. 🙂

    There’s a nice spicy peanut sauce I found on foodtv.ca before. I think it was a Bob Blumer recipe from one of his Surreal Gourmet shows. It’s a good thing I printed out a copy of the recipe because I can’t seem to find it on the site anymore. The recipe calls for a few more ingredients but the end result with soba noodles is quite yummy!

    I just wanted to write an update and say that I am STILL making these noodles a couple of times a week, I love them that much. Unlike the original recipe, I never eat these cold. Always hot and I love to add shiitake mushrooms, spinach and whatever protein I have leftover. Makes the most wonderful and fast easy lunch.

    Boobookitty, wish I could see that sauce by Bob Bloomer, he has great taste and I bet it is fantastic!

    I’ll look into transcribing it and emailing it to you. It’s great when it’s still warm because the peanut butter component starts to congeal a bit when it cools down. It’s still good regardless!

    Wonderful, thank you! I am actually not one to judge a dish by its appearance. Sometimes the weirdest looking dishes taste the best and the pretty-looking ones are totally forgettable when it comes to flavour. For me, flavour comes first. Thanks so much Boobookitty! 🙂
