Peanut Chilli Noodles

Ingredients

• 4 spring onions (finely chopped, divided)
• 200 g organic noodles
• 3 garlic (cloves)
• 2 tbsp organic crunchy peanut butter
• 2 tbsp organic roasted chopped peanuts
• 0.25 cup runny organic tahini
• 2 tbsp organic tamari
• 2 tbsp chilli oil
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 5 tbsp hot water
• 2 tbsp sesame seeds (divided)

Steps

1. 1

   Cook the 200g of organic noodles according to the package instructions until al dente.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the 3 cloves of garlic, 2 tablespoons of crunchy peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of chopped peanuts, 1/4 cup of tahini, 2 tablespoons of tamari, 2 tablespoons of chilli oil, 1 tablespoon of lime juice, 5 tablespoons of hot water, and 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds.

3. 3

   Whisk the mixture vigorously until the sauce becomes creamy and glossy. The hot water is essential here to help the fats from the tahini and peanut butter emulsify perfectly.

4. 4

   Add the cooked noodles and most of the chopped spring onions to the bowl.

5. 5

   Toss the noodles thoroughly in the sauce until every strand is evenly and thickly coated.

6. 6

   Garnish the dish with the remaining chopped spring onions and an extra sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately while warm.

Notes

The hot water is the key to the emulsion; if the sauce feels too thick after adding the noodles, you can add an extra splash of hot water. For extra heat, drizzle with more chili oil before serving.
