For the Noodles

For the Sauce

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Boil the Noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the knife-cut noodles and cook for about 5 minutes or until al dente.
  2. Prepare the Peanut Sauce: In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar, and sugar. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If the sauce is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the hot noodle cooking water until desired consistency is reached.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce: Drain noodles and return to pot or bowl. Pour sauce over and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve warm, drizzling with extra chili oil and garnishing with cilantro or green onions.
