Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, minced
Instructions
- Combine the peanut butter and warm water in a small bowl. Whisk until mostly smooth.
- Add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, maple syrup, ginger, and minced garlic to the bowl.
- Whisk vigorously until the sauce is completely smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency for coating noodles.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings if needed (add more vinegar for tang or sweetener for balance).
- Pour immediately over cooked and drained noodles.
Notes
- If you prefer a spicier sauce, add 1/2 teaspoon of sriracha or chili garlic sauce.
- This sauce works well with cold noodles, hot ramen, or rice vermicelli.
- For a richer flavor, substitute 1 tablespoon of the water with sesame oil.
