Tips and questions for cooking peanut noodles.

• Tips.
  • Use a thicker noodle/pasta for better absorption of the sauce and ease of mixing
  • Cook the noodles or pasta to the correct consistency, not overcooked or undercooked. This could mean a few minutes less than the package’s recommended time.
  • The peanut sauce gives the dish its flavour, the recommended quantity gives you enough peanut butter sauce to coat the recommended amount of pasta or noodles.
    • If you add more pasta/noodles, the quantity of sauce will not be enough, and the peanut noodles will turn quite bland.
      Keep this in mind and use the exact amount or double the peanut sauce to use as needed

• Questions.
  • Can I make this peanut noodle recipe ahead of time?
    • I would suggest making the peanut sauce ahead of time.
    • An hour before the serving time, cook the noodles/pasta and toss both together.
  • Can I add veggies to the peanut noodles?
    • Yes, stir-fry some bell peppers, spinach, thinly sliced carrots, and cucumber can be added to this noodle dish.
  • What would be the best substitute for peanut butter?
    • Substitute with any of the other nut butter available to you. Cashews, almonds, and hazelnuts are a few you can try.

Storage, freezing and reheating guide.

• Storing – Leftovers can be refrigerated and consumed within 48 hours.
• Reheating – Use a few tablespoons of water and warm the peanut noodles over the stovetop.
• Freezing
  • If you are freezing the noodles, slightly undercook them.
  • Divide into your required meal portions.
  • Let the noodles cool before you pack them in a container and freeze.
