These creamy Thai Peanut Noodles are done in less than 15 minutes! Made with sweet red chili sauce, they are rich and slightly spicy.
This Thai Peanut Noodles recipe is one that I have been making a very long time. I've used the Thai peanut sauce or a variation of it for Vegetable Spring Rolls, a Thai Veggie Wrap, and Cucumber and Carrot Noodles.
What can I say? I love peanut sauce! The flavor of peanut butter with sweet red chili sauce, tamari, and lime juice is a wonderful combination.
What's The Best Type of Pasta To Use?
You can use any pasta you like, but flat ribbon pastas work best with a creamy sauce. Examples of flat ribbon pastas are fettuccine, linguine, tagliatelle, and pappardelle. I used Pad Thai rice noodles.
