Peanut Butter Chili Oil Noodles 🌶️ Ingredients: * 200g noodles of choice * 2 tbsp peanut butter * 1 small shallot, finely chopped * 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped * 1 tsp fresh ginger, finely chopped * 1 tbsp sesame seeds * 1–2 tsp chili flakes * 1 green onion, finely sliced * 2 tbsp soy sauce * 1 tbsp rice vinegar * 1 tbsp maple syrup * 3 tbsp neutral oil, very hot For serving: * Fresh lemon * Sliced green onion * Crushed peanuts * Crispy shallots (optional) Instructions: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions and reserve a little of the cooking water. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger, sesame seeds, chili flakes, and green onion to a heatproof bowl. Heat the oil until very hot, then carefully pour it directly over everything — it should sizzle! Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and maple syrup and mix well. Add a splash of noodle water and stir until smooth and creamy. Toss in the cooked noodles until completely coated. Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon, more green onion, crushed peanuts, and crispy shallots. Feel free to add any other toppings you love! ✨
