Tips
- If you're following a gluten-free diet, substitute soy sauce with tamari sauce to ensure your dish remains gluten-free.
- Be careful not to overcook the rice noodles when soaking them in hot water. They should be softened but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles can become mushy.
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugar or oil. You can also use almond or cashew butter for a different flavor.
- Create a flavorful sauce. Adjust the quantities to suit your taste preferences.
- Include a variety of colorful vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, snap peas, and scallions for added flavor, texture, and nutrition.
- If you like it spicy, consider adding more sriracha sauce to the peanut sauce. Adjust the amount according to your heat preference.
- If the peanut sauce seems too thick, you can thin it out by gradually adding a bit of warm water, vegetable broth, or coconut milk until you achieve the desired consistency.
- Peanut butter rice noodles can be enjoyed as leftovers. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a couple of days. You may need to add a bit of water or broth and reheat them gently to prevent drying out.
- Taste as you go and adjust the flavors as needed. If it's too salty, add a bit more sweetener or lime juice. If it's too sweet, add more soy sauce or vinegar to balance it.
- Fresh herbs like Thai basil, mint, or cilantro can add a burst of freshness and color to your dish. Consider using them as a garnish.
- Don't be afraid to get creative with your ingredients. Try different vegetables, proteins, and nut butters to discover unique flavor combinations.
