These Peanut Noodles are crazy good, slightly spicy and drenched in the best peanut sauce ever! and ready in 15 minutes!! This Thai inspired noodle dish makes an easy vegan meal or snack any day of the week. Delicious served hot or cold.
Ok guys I love noodles! I seriously eat them to much! And this peanut noodle recipe will make you a noodle addict too! and the best part is it takes minutes to make and the ingredients are super simple. You probably have them all in your pantry and fridge right now.
I use either spaghetti noodles, spaghettini or vermicelli noodles for this recipe. It works the best for texture and slurp factor. Trust me on this!? Rice noodles are a great gluten free option!
And if you're a lover of fast and delicious noodle bowls check out my Sweet & Spicy Garlic Noodles, they are a favourite on the blog!
The peanut sauce is so good that you’ll be licking your bowl! I’m not kidding!!

- Tamari
- sesame oil
- fresh grated ginger
- Coconut milk
- Rice wine vinegar
- Lime juice
- Sugar or sweetener of choice
- Chili garlic sauce

I eat these peanut noodles pretty much as they are but there are so many optional toppings you can add for serving (which I do when I have company?)
Yup when it's just me and hubby, we eat Em straight up, sitting on the couch, channel surfing with a big ol bowl of warm peanut noodles!!)
I don't consider this noodle recipe a salad. This is a delicious fast and easy slurpy peanut noodle bowl! but hey make it your own!❤️
Optional toppings for peanut noodles:
- Toasted sesame seeds
- Thinly sliced red cabbage
- Grated carrot
- chopped cilantro
- Edamame
- Roasted and chopped peanuts
- Diced green onions
- Crispy tofu
- lime wedges
How to make peanut noodles:
- First cook your noodles according to package instructions. Add to a colander, drain and rinse well with hot water. Return noodles to the pot. Add a drizzle of sesame oil, mix, and set aside
- While noodles are cooking prepare your peanut sauce: add all ingredients to a medium sauce pot. Whisk together and heat on medium low heat until the sauce is warm, no need to simmer.
- Mix sauce with noodles and serve!
- I like to serve noodles in individual bowls and top with peanut sauce, and green onions.
- Serve with lime wedges, roasted chopped peanuts and cilantro! Easy Peasy and amazing!! For full recipe instructions and ingredients see recipe card below.

Hi Verna,
If you don't want the heat of the chili garlic sauce can you sub just garlic and how much? And, can you use light coconut milk with less fat?
Thanks!
Hi Wendy honestly it's really not very spicy at all and the garlic sauce adds great depth of flavour but of course leave it out if needed and fry up some garlic! You can add light coconut milk but sauce won't be as rich or thick but I'm sure it will still be delicious- enjoy and Happy New Years you and yours! 🙂
For the canned coconut milk, it separates in the can. Do you only use the solid part? TIA!
Hi Pam just shake the can to mix before measuring or add to a bowl and whisk together whatever works. Enjoy!
Just made this , I am so happy with this recipe
Aww thanks Midge! Glad you loved it!

You are so welcome! Glad you all enjoyed it Gabrielle! Thank you for your comment!
Could this be made in the instant pot? 🤔
Any idea how long to cook it for?
Looks delicious and i can't wait to try it!!
I have not made it in an instant pot. It's a quick recipe as is. Enjoy!
Do you think this would be okay without the lime juice?
It looks delicious!
Thank You
Hi Linda, the lime juice is a great addition, you could leave it out if you don't have any but the flavour won't be the same. Add some lemon if you have some! If not enjoy without! Hope that helps!
Can i use a different type of vinegar, like apple cider for this recipe?
Hi Diane, yes you can use apple cider vinegar in place of rice wine vinegar. I prefer the flavour of the rice vinegar though. Enjoy!
Is this sweetened coconut milk
Hi Tiffany, no it is not sweetened. Full fat canned coconut (do not buy 'lite coconut') have a great day!
So easy and delicious. Kids devoured them!

Thanks so much Tina, glad everyone enjoyed the noodles!
Hi Verna! I just made this, absolutely delicious!! One question, should it ( the sause )be runny? Or should I thicken it a bit? I've not yet added it to the noodles, I'm having it over organic millet&brown rice ramen noodles Either way its delicious ?Thanks so much for all your amazing recipes?
Hi Trena, no need to thicken it. Enjoy!! Thanks so much for your comment! Glad you're enjoying the recipes!❤️
