Thai Peanut Sesame Noodles
I love anything chinese and thai food and that is apparent on my blog. When people ask me what my favorite recipes are on the blog, it is definitely the better than take out chinese recipes. These are recipes that I make over and over again. And when you repeat recipes as a food blogger, you know that they are good.
This Thai peanut sesame noodle recipe is just it! It is light, fresh and so much flavor. I can’t get enough to it. I love the flavor combination with the sesame noodles and Thai peanut sauce. It is simple to make and only takes minutes to prepare and cook. This is perfect for a quick dinner in on a busy week night.
I couldn’t believe how amazing these noodles turned out. I devoured them! So simple and so flavorful! The combination of the flavors in the sauce coated the noodles and gave this dish such an awesome taste. My picky eater even gobbled them down and asked for seconds. This is such a simple meal that our family will be making again and again. We might try adding beef or chicken next time too!
Thai Peanut Sesame Noodle Ingredients:
Thai peanut sesame noodles are a simple dish that has fantastic flavor and will become a family favorite!
- Linguine Noodles: These are a wider noodle and best for thick, rich sauces that can hold the sauce on each noodle while also having a
- Sesame Seeds: Great for garnish and added texture.
- Green onions: This too is for a garnish as well as flavoring and
Peanut Sesame Noodle Sauce Ingredients:
- Peanut Butter: Thick and creamy peanut butter is smooth and silky that helps bind the sauce and the noodles together.
- Soy sauce:Â Add this asian favorite that brings out a salty and classic flavoring to the sauce.
- Sesame Oil: A unique flavoring that is just the perfect touch to this peanut sesame noodle sauce.
- Chicken Broth: Has an added flavoring of chicken and brings the sauce smooth and tasty!
- Minced Garlic:Â Always a favorite to me!
- Ginger: Fresh ginger is best and can be shredded easily.
- Sriracha Chili Sauce:Â Add a little spice to your noodles.
How to make Peanut Sesame Noodles:
- Cook noodles:Â Cook the noodles in a large pot according to package directions.
- Whisk together sauce ingredients: While the noodles are cooking, in a medium sauce pan whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, ½ cup chicken broth, minced garlic, ginger, and sriracha chili sauce. Cook over medium heat until smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Drain and combine together: Drain the noodles and toss in the peanut sesame sauce. Serve immediately.
How to Customize your Noodles:
- Protein: Chicken, steak or shrimp is always a great choice to have
- Vegetables: Add in all your favorite raw vegetables that you love. Slice vegetables evenly to cook quickly. Carrots, snow peas, celery or bell peppers are great vegetable to try.
- Gluten Free: If you are gluten intolerant I have heard that Tamari is a great substitute for the soy sauce and linguine. You can also use zucchini spirals or cauliflower rice for more choices.
- Peanut Free:Â This is a great way to add in your favorite nut butter. Stick with a creamy and smooth nut butter for best results and leaving this nut free for those allergic or prefer not to have the peanut taste.
- Spicy: You can never go wrong with a little spice. Heat just enhances and turns up a recipe to the next level. Red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper or paprika are also great seasonings for a little extra spice.

I love this recipe! Like many others, the first time I made this I found it quite salty. This will vary depending on what type of soy sauce is used. If using regular dark full sodium soy sauce, I simply added 2 Tbsp. of Brown Sugar and simmer a couple of minutes and that balanced it out. Add frozen Asian Veggie Mix (will require added simmer time to reduce the sauce from the added water from the frozen veggies), or sautéed Bok Choy in garlic, Delicious!
I doubled the sauce, like many suggested. This dish is fabulous! I will be making this allot. I’m obsessed!
These were delicious! I added an extra 2 tsp. sesame oil and 1 tsp. hoisin sauce with only 1/2 tsp. Sriracha. I love how customizable the recipe is. Thanks very much.
Your recipe looks Yummy! I am a Chinese food lover. Yesterday, I tried your Thai Peanut Sesame Noodles recipe for dinner and everyone in my family loved it. Keep on sharing such amazing recipes with us.
Wowww…i always wanted to learn new recipes. Thanks for sharing such a fantastic blog.
Wowww…i always wanted to learn new recipes.
This sounds amazing! I want to try it in this week’s meal plan … but where is the “print button?”
I am not seeing one. Gah! Thanks.
Made it tonight and loved it. I used Sambal instead of Siracha and added chopped snow peas and chicken. Was a little salty but will try low sodium chx broth and soy sauce.
can I substitute sweet chill sauce in place of sriracha sauce as my wife cant handle hot chilli sauce
Yes, that will work great.
This recipe was very salty, even tried cutting down the low sodium soy sauce, and used low sodium bouillon.
Can this be a vegan recipe with vegetable broth instead of the chicken? Will it taste the same or sort of the same?
Yes, that will work. It will alter the taste a bit but it will taste great and will still be enjoyed!
Absolutely DELICIOUS!! And so easy. Made a fantastic hot dinner tonight and will make a great cold lunch for work tomorrow. Love it with extra sriracha sauce–the sugar in the peanut butter counters the sour in the sriracha perfectly. Thank you!!
Very nice, I especially enjoyed the ginger in it. I don’t think it needs sweetened.
This peanut Thai dish has become a regular in our household! We love it!!! I couldn’t get my sauce to thicken up so I added a little cornstarch/water combo and it was perfect! We also like to add chicken and shelled edamame. Awesome recipe, thank you!!
I plan to try this using Beyond Sausage Sweet Italian. There are a few vegans and vegetarian in my family and Beyond Sausage in marvelous so omnivores would not know it’s not meat.
I like to add a little rice wine vinegar and a little sweetener, like honey.
Great recipe. Family loved it! I did dbl the recipe and added a tsp of hoisin sauce, though.
Will be making these noodles again soon.
I need to make this for 14 people in take out chinese containers for an appetizer. How much sauce would I need? TIA.
You will need double the sauce twice. So four times the sauce for it to feed 14 people. Enjoy! That sounds like a fun party! XOXO
I made this last night and it was a success! I’m not the best cook but this recipe is fool proof! If you are making it for more than one person then I would double the recipe right away.
The only change I made was using udon noodles instead of the ones used in this recipe. Really yummy!!
Where can I find the nutritional information for this recipe?
