1-Getting started: Getting started with this recipe is as easy as boiling water, making it perfect for beginners or anyone in a rush. First, cook 16 ounces of noodles in boiling water following the package instructions until they’re just right tender but not mushy. Once done, drain them and set aside to keep that perfect texture.

2-Next: finely mince 3 large cloves of garlic (or 4-5 small ones) and sauté them in 1 tablespoon of your preferred oil over low heat for 2-3 minutes until they’re golden and fragrant. Then, add 1 tablespoon of fresh grated ginger and sauté for another minute to build that amazing aroma.

3-Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in ⅔ cup of low or no salt peanut butter, 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of sriracha, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes if you want extra heat, and 2 teaspoons of sesame oil if using. Start with 1/3 cup of hot water and gradually add up to 1 cup more until the sauce is smooth and reaches your desired consistency.

4-Toss the cooked noodles with about half of this sauce, then add more as needed for full coverage. For a complete meal, serve it up with optional toppings like crushed peanuts, scallions, or cilantro it’s ready in just 15 minutes total!
