Recipe Notes

  • Substitute regular soy sauce with tamari or gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
  • Replace peanut butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for nut-free alternatives.
  • Use cayenne pepper or red chili flakes instead of chili oil for a spicier version.
  • Toast the peanuts lightly for added crunch and enhanced flavor.
  • Thin the peanut sauce with more water if it becomes too thick during mixing.
  • Add a teaspoon of maple syrup or honey (if not vegan) for additional sweetness if desired.
  • Use rice noodles or soba noodles for different textures.
  • To make it protein-rich, add tofu cubes or edamame to the dish.
  • Rinse the noodles in cold water after boiling to prevent clumping.
  • Adjust the chili oil quantity to control spice levels.
  • Fresh lime juice can replace lemon juice for a more citrusy flavor.
  • Add a handful of steamed or stir-fried vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for extra nutrition.
