Ingredients

  • Whole peanuts
  • Sesame seeds
  • Peanut butter
  • Noodles (I use udon noodles)
  • Spring onion
  • Soy sauce (I use dark, but light works as well for a stronger flavor)
  • Vinegar (I use Chinkiang vinegar)
  • Chili oil (Lao Gan Ma also works)
  • Garlic
  • Ginger

Cooking plan

  • Grind some of your peanuts and leave some whole for a more interesting texture. Then, start by toasting your whole peanuts and sesame seeds.
  • Next, finely mince your garlic and ginger, add chili oil to your pan and sauté your aromatics.
  • Meanwhile, bring some water to a boil and cook your noodles per package instructions.
  • Once fragrant, add the white part of your spring onion as well.
  • To your pan, add some vinegar, soy sauce and some scoops of peanut butter to taste. Mix well, as the peanut butter needs to be fully encorporated into the sauce.
  • Finally mix your noodles through your sauce and garnish with the green part of your spring onion.

ENJOY!!
