Ingredients
Instructions
COOK THE NOODLES
Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice noodles and stir gently to prevent them from sticking. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until tender but still firm. Drain the noodles in a colander and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Shake off excess water and set the noodles aside.
Tip: Do not overcook the noodles, as they may become mushy when mixed with the sauce.
PREPARE THE PEANUT SAUCE
Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey and grated ginger in a small bowl. Stir well until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water to loosen it to a pourable consistency. Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly blended.
Tip: Use freshly grated ginger for a brighter and more aromatic flavor.
MIX THE NOODLES WITH THE SAUCE
Place the cooked noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the noodles and toss gently using tongs or clean hands to coat every strand evenly. Be thorough to ensure the sauce is distributed, but handle the noodles carefully to prevent them from breaking.
Tip: Toss the noodles while they are slightly warm to help the sauce cling better.
GARNISH AND SERVE
Transfer the coated noodles to serving bowls or plates. Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped peanuts, fresh herbs like cilantro or a wedge of lime for added freshness. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tip: Pair the dish with a side of steamed vegetables or a light salad to make it a complete meal.
