  7. Serve with your favorite Asian hot sauce on the side
Recipe Notes

I love this garlicky version of peanut noodles, especially because it holds up incredibly well to being frozen and then reheated for a quick and easy weeknight dinner! It makes great leftovers, too. I love it with a swirl of sriracha hot sauce on top for a little kick.
