Servings 2

Ingredients

  • 1 package noodles ramen, udon, or rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons chili flakes
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 bunch green onions chopped
  • 2 teaspoons minced ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon nut butter
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ cup sesame oil

Instructions

  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the sesame oil in a small pot over medium heat until fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the chili flakes, garlic, ginger, three-quarters of the green onions, and sesame seeds to a heatproof bowl. Carefully pour the hot oil over the mixture.
  • Stir in the nut butter, soy sauce, and lime juice until smooth.
  • Add the cooked noodles and toss well to coat.
  • Garnish with the remaining green onions and extra sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the chili flakes to control the heat level.
  • Any nut butter works, but peanut butter adds the richest flavor.
  • If your noodles feel dry, add a splash of noodle cooking water to loosen the sauce.
