Description
A quick and satisfying noodle dish made with ready-cooked egg noodles, crisp vegetables, and a creamy sesame peanut dressing that is perfect served cold or at room temperature.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
- 100 grams smooth peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 125 grams mangetout, trimmed
- 150 grams beansprouts, rinsed
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and cut into thin strips
- 2 spring onions, finely sliced
- 550 grams ready-cooked egg noodles
- 20 grams sesame seeds
- 4 tablespoons chopped fresh coriander
Instructions
- In a bowl or large jug, whisk together the sesame oil, garlic-infused olive oil, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, smooth peanut butter, and lime juice until smooth and creamy.
- If the dressing seems too thick, add a very small splash of warm water and whisk again until pourable.
- Place the mangetout, beansprouts, red pepper, spring onions, and ready-cooked egg noodles into a large mixing bowl.
- Gently separate the noodles with your hands or tongs so they do not stay clumped together.
- Pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture.
- Toss everything thoroughly until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated.
- Scatter the sesame seeds and chopped coriander over the top.
- Give the noodles one final gentle toss or leave the garnish on top for presentation.
- Serve immediately, or chill until ready to eat.
Notes
- These noodles are best served cold or at room temperature.
- If using dried noodles instead of ready-cooked noodles, cook, drain, and cool them first.
- Grilled chicken, baked tofu, or edamame can be added for extra protein.
- Chopped roasted peanuts make a great crunchy topping.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
