This is one of my go-to easy meals for one, said Suzie Lee. Quick, delicious, spicy and lip-smacking, these noodles are made using ingredients from the cupboard, so it is super easy. I like to eat this with a crispy fried egg, some fried peanuts, spring onions and an extra drizzle of chilli oil.
Ingredients (serves 1)
- 100g nest of dried thick egg noodles
- 1 heaped tbsp peanut butter (crunchy or smooth)
- 1 tsp crispy chilli oil
- 1⁄2 tsp chicken or vegetable stock powder
- 1 1⁄2 tsp rice vinegar (or more if you like it tangier)
- drizzle of sesame oil
- fried egg (to serve, optional)
- sliced spring onions (to serve, optional)
Method
- Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the noodles according to the packet instructions.
- In a serving bowl, combine the peanut butter, crispy chilli oil, stock
- powder and rice vinegar. Stir well to combine.
- Once the noodles are cooked, add 1-2 tablespoons of the hot noodle cooking water to the bowl and stir to create a sauce.
- Drain the noodles and add them to the bowl, then toss everything together until combined.
- Drizzle with sesame oil, then add any optional toppings and serve.
