Chinese Noodles with Peanut Sauce is so comforting and so delicious.
It’s wonderful served warm when it’s cold outside, and it’s great served at room temp when it’s hot outdoors!
The sauce is literally exploding with flavor and the noodles just soak up that incredible yumminess.
Did you ever wonder who invented the noodle? It’s pasta, which makes you think it might have originated in Italy, or Europe. Or is it China? Learn more about its amazing history here.
The richness of the creamy peanut butter along with a touch of sweet from the honey, matched against a little bit of heat provided by the chili oil is just the best.
These noodles are wonderful as an appetizer, or a great side dish, or, a meal by themselves.
We just love a good peanut sauce and this one is about as good as they come!
Chinese noodles can be found in the Asian section of most major supermarkets or from Asian food markets.
In a pinch, you could easily substitute spaghetti or really any other kind of noodle. We typically never have a hard time finding at our local supermarket, even in the Lone Star State!
We said it before, but we think it bears repeating: The real star of this dish is the incredible peanut sauce.
