Chilli Crisp Peanut Noodles

The Story Behind the Dish

This is a classic 'throw together a quick meal' recipe. Once you start cooking East-Asian cuisine, you'll probably have most of the ingredients in the cupboard meaning that you can throw together a ridiculously flavourful meal with minimal effort. It's one of those dishes, where the flavour doesn't remotely match the effort put in. Eat And Be Merri!

Recipe Overview

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp Merri's Chilli Crisp
• 100g Noodles (I always do more than one serving of noodles)
• 1-2 spring onions
• 1 heaped tbsp Peanut Butter
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 1 tbsp Chinese Black Vinegar
• 1 tsp Sesame Oil
• 1-2 tsp Gochugaru
• 1 tbsp Honey
• Large pinch of Sesame Seeds

Instructions

1. Boil the noodles 
2. Mix all ingredients bar spring onion and sesame seeds into a sauce
3. Mix cooked noodles with sauce
   
4. Top with spring onion and sesame seeds
   

Chef’s Notes & Variations

• Try things out: If you like spice, add more chilli crisp or gochugaru. It's your meal!
• Fresh coriander adds a nice variation
• Substitute Chilli Flakes: If you can't find gochugaru, replace with regular chilli flakes
