Noodles with Peanut Chili Sauce

I’ve been thinking about my wontons in peanut chili sauce but I didn’t want to wrap the wontons. What is a quicker way to get all the flavours without the extra work. Why not just make noodles

You can substitute the peanut butter with roasted sesame paste and adjust the chili oil to however much you want or don’t want. For the noodles, if you can’t find knife cut noodles, you can use any kind of noodles or even spaghetti.

These noodles are simple to make and so delicious. They are also quick and cheap! You gotta give them a try.

Push the meat aside and add garlic and ginger. Stir fry for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
