Asian Peanut Noodles for One

September 26, 2016

Ever have a craving for savory Asian-style peanut noodles? Now you can whip them up whenever you want with ingredients you probably already have on hand.

I first made peanut noodles for me and the fiance probably 5 years ago. I went over to his place one Friday night to make him dinner. Being a bachelor who lived by himself, I remember having to buy Sriracha, soy sauce, garlic, carrots, etc… I think all he had was the spaghetti and peanut butter. Also, he didn’t have any non-stick pans and his dishes didn’t look this pretty, haha.

Over the years, I’ve made this recipe countless times. It’s always been a favorite. Sometimes I’ll use spaghetti noodles or fettuccine, or sometimes rice or pad Thai style noodles. You can also switch up the veggies– sometimes I’ve used broccoli or cucumbers. But the best is shredded carrots and zucchini!

Sometimes I like to just make a big bowl just for myself, though. I work from home now, which means I can actually cook myself lunch! 

So, I figured out the right portions of everything to whip up one serving of the sauce.
