peanut butter noodles

[bigmike20vt]

any of you guys ever had peanut butter noodles? they are dead nice.
1 nest of medium dry noodles cooked then put in a bowl then make a paste out of 1 generous teaspoon of crunchy peanut butter, 2 generous teaspoons of soy sauce and a 1/4 teaspoon of English mustard. mix that lot up and then add to the noodles along with a chopped spring onion and add ham if you are not a vegi. really nice , easy to make and better than an instant noodle packet imo.

Would that be light or dark soy sauce (I have both)?

dark... (I would say that mind... light does little for me)

I reckon if Marmite was substituted for Soy sauce it'd be winner.

I've not tried this specifically, but in the past I have used a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter and some chilli sauce to pep up instant/Pot Noodles when needs must.

 

[embalse]

Well, I'll give it a go!

 

[spile]

dark... (I would say that mind... light does little for me)

Light for cooking, Dark for seasoning/finishing.

I'll be trying this (without the spring onions)

I tried the OP recipe yesterday, nice, but not something I'd go mad for.

Replace the sriracha with some chiu chow chilli oil and bung a piece of grilled chicken on top, and that's a fairly standard go to lunch for me!

Sounds like a lot of work mate

Yeah, you can do all sorts with this sort of recipe. Sometimes I stick some chicken/goujons on the top. Often fry an egg or two for it. Sometimes stick some kale in with the udon to make it a little healthier. Chop some spinach into the final dish.

Asian cooking in general has some really quick an easy meals if you have a good base. I cook a lot of short grain rice that lives in the fridge and makes delicious rice bowls in 5 minutes.

Was thinking that, kind of defeats the purpose of a "quick" snack!

Tastes nice though! Only takes about 10 mins, and most of that is pulling out the ingredients.

No, absolutely no, not ever. No no no, simply not happening.
