plonqI picked up some stir-fry noodles and green onions earlier this week with an eye to trying my hand at peanut noodles. atara made some for dinner a couple of weeks back and they were a big hit. I just wanted to try my own twist on them.
The basics of the sauce are just peanut butter, dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, sesame oil and chilli oil. I didn't have chilli oil, so I substituted some fermented soy-chilli paste. It packed a bit more heat than I wanted, so next time I may skip it, or swap in gochujang or gochugaru instead - I think both would work well with this recipe.
The in individual squares of noodles in the pack that I bought were perfect for single servings. Besides the topping of green onion, I also added a generous dollop of chilli crisp. The latter really tied everything together. If you've never heard of, or tried chilli crisp, go out and buy some now. You can thank me later.
And while I'm posting food, here's a bonus picture of today's breakfast.
There's this misnomer out there that avocado toast is "fancy'. It's literally just toast and eggs with a mashed up avocado. Well, in this case mashed up with lemon juice, kosher salt, freshly-ground black pepper and a little smidgen of minced garlic. I finished it with a pinch of smoked salt flakes and red pepper flakes.
