- Why did the noodles clump together?
- Rice noodles release a lot of starch. After cooking, rinse immediately with cold water and toss with oil if not using straight away.
Satay-style peanut butter noodles
Peanut butter is not just for sandwiches; it is a cornerstone of Asian cuisine (think satay sauce). Its creamy, fatty texture perfectly coats the slippery rice noodles, while soy sauce and vinegar ensure a balance of flavours (salty, sour, sweet, umami).

Instructions
1
✓
Soak the rice noodles in hot water until soft (follow pack instructions). Drain and rinse.
Tip: Rice noodles don't need 'cooking' in the traditional sense, just rehydrating.
2
✓
Whisk the sauce ingredients (peanut butter, soy, vinegar, honey, ginger, garlic, oil, water) until smooth.
Tip: Warm water helps dissolve the peanut butter to get a uniform emulsion.
3
✓
Heat the sauce in the pan for a minute, then toss in the noodles.
Tip: The heat thickens the sauce and helps it cling to the noodles better.
4
✓
Serve sprinkled with sesame seeds and greens.
Tip: The crunch of fresh onion and coriander is needed alongside the creamy noodles.
