The sauce in this recipe goes best with noodles, but if someone told you it could only go on noodles they’d be lying. It also goes well with other meats and vegetables and would be delicious in a veggie satay. If you’re someone who takes the time to make spring rolls, this sauce is also absolutely delectable when used for dipping.
Whether you use creamy or crunchy peanut butter for this recipe doesn’t matter, it’s based on your personal preference. If you prefer to have crunchier sauce, go for the crunchy peanut butter! If you want to go all out, you might even consider trying this recipe for homemade peanut butter. Homemade peanut butter in your homemade Asian peanut noodles? I just can’t. Too awesome!

If you’d like your dish a little spicier, add some chili pepper or red curry paste to the peanut butter. Peppers, sprouts, carrots, ginger, broccoli, and chicken are all some things you can add to your dish for a little more color and variation.
Peanut butter is good for you and so fun to eat when smothering noodles in this Homemade Asian Peanut Noodle recipe. Your family will love this and you will love how easy it is to make!
