15 minute peanut butter and chilli beef (or pork, prawns, tofu, chicken...)noodles!

This really is so quick, easy and tasty. A great combination of peanut butter, chilli sauce and soy sauce mixed with stir fried noodles.  A few simple steps and you have a delicious dinner in 15 minutes (or less if not using meat)

A great dish for when you need dinner quickly  - I hope you enjoy! 

serves 3-4

ingredients
250g egg noodles
1 bag stir fry vegetables (I used about 400g size)
300g minced beef (but you can use pork, prawns, chicken, tofu, extra veg - it's up to you)
1 tbs oil

sauce:
3 tbs peanut butter (I like crunchy for the texture but smooth is OK)
3 tbs soya sauce
3 tbs sweet chilli sauce
6 tbs boiled water

optional sauce extras:
crushed garlic
grated ginger
lime zest

optional toppings:
sesame seeds
lime segment

I know its not pasta based, but that sauce is great with just steamed broccoli as a side dish. Yum

The more I look at this, the more I want it! I mean, peanut butter and pasta!?! It's so crazy it must be awesome :D

[chipbuttiesandnoodlesoup]

It is awesome! Even if I do say so myself ;)
Not weird at all - honest - think Thai inspired - like satay sauce. Let me know if you give it a go......:)

mmm that sounds great!
it might be even nicer with strips of meat, like chicken, instead of mince
(although that would eliminate the 15 minute part probably!)

Thanks - I will definitely try it with sliced chicken or beef soon - might take a bit longer with the chicken though but not much if its thin. The sauce is so good though its great with just the veg :)

[AussieAnglerGal]

[chipbuttiesandnoodlesoup]
