Ingredients

Noodles

  • 100 g instant noodles (1 packet (not the pot) of instant noodles, discard the seasoning sachet)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar (or whote wine vinegar)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (garlic granules or 1 clove crush fresh garlic)
  • 1 teaspoon chilli flakes
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 300 ml boiling water

Toppings (optional)

  • 1 spring onion (also called scallion or green onion, finely sliced)
  • 1 pinch sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon salted peanuts (more if you like)

Instructions

  • Add all the sauce ingredients to a pan and warm through, mixing (don't worry if it doesn't look completely smooth, it will come together into a silky sauce as it cookes).
  • Now break the nest of noodles into the sauce and cook on medium for 4-5 minutes until the sauce is thick and noodles are cooked through.
  • Serve topped with sliced spring onion (green onion/scallion) and a pinch of sesame seeds and a few salted peanuts or cashews.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Look for supermarket own-brand noodles, as they are cheaper and the flavour doesn't matter as you are not using the flavouring sachet.
  • You can add a little more water at the end if you prefer a looser sauce.
  • The toppings are optional.
