Any Suggestions for Additional Garnishes?

A veggie stir fry would be great addition to these noodles. Red bell pepper, mushrooms, onions, carrots or parsnips are delicious on top of these creamy peanut noodles. You could also add fresh cilantro, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, or some grated fresh ginger. You could even add our crispy tofu , which you can air fry while everything else cooks.

Can I Serve this Cold?

Yes! We've tried it cold as well and it's so good. If you make your own pasta, be sure to store the sauce separate from the noodles. That way your cold peanut noodles will not absorb the sauce and it will be creamy when you add it.

If I Don't Want Spiciness but Want More Flavor, What Can I Add?

Onion powder and ginger powder are great flavor additions for the sauce. You could also replace the soy sauce with coconut aminos for a lower salt and a unique flavoring. Miso is also a nice option, but it is salty so you may want to be sparing with it.

Notes

Note 1: Creamy almond butter is a great substitute for this recipe. You can replace it one to one for the peanut butter and it should still work great with the rest of the sauce ingredients. But we also have this Almond Butter Sauce (coming soon!) if you want to try a recipe that's optimized for almond butter.
Note 2: Standard hot sauce can be used in a pinch if you don't have access to a bottle of sriracha. If you're worried about spiciness in general, you can forgo it. The recipe will just be more like creamy peanut butter noodles.
Note 3: Agave is an easy replacement for maple syrup if you have that on had instead. You're looking to add a little sweetness from another source.
Note 4: If you plan this dish as a meal prep or want to serve it cold later, store the sauce and pasta in separate containers. This will prevent the sauce from being absorb by the pasta, making a drier dish.
Note 5: Store all garnishes separate from the pasta to preserve flavor and texture.
Note 6: If you'd like to add veggies into this dish like shredded green or red cabbage, julienned red bell pepper/carrots/cucumber, cilantro, etc. you totally can. You may want to increase the amount of sauce you use. We'd recommend doubling the recipe if you'd like to add 2 cups of raw or cooked vegetables. If you just want to add 1 cup, simply increase the recipe by 50% (using 4.5 tablespoons peanut butter instead of 3, etc.)
