Instructions
- Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, setting your timer to the packet time minus 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, minced garlic, sriracha, rice vinegar, soy sauce and hot water in a large mixing bowl.
- Drain the noodles and reserve a mug of the starchy water. Combine the noodles with the peanut butter and continue to cook on a low heat until the sauce thickens and the noodles cook completely. Loosen with the reserved water as necessary.

- Make the sauce ahead of time and cook the noodles the day you want to eat. Add more Sriracha sauce if you prefer it spicier.
- Add toppings such as peanuts, coriander, and chili flakes along with the sliced spring onions.
