RECIPE
Based on this video by Geniuseatss vm.tiktok.com/...
Instagram: ...
KZbin: / @geniuseatss
2 Tablespoons peanut butter (lets be real I used 3)
1 Teaspoon soy sauce
½ Tablespoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon sesame oil (let's be real I used a full teaspoon like a badass)
½ teaspoon sugar (I made it once without the sugar and it was still good)
1 teaspoon of chili oil (let's be real that's exactly how much I used)
2 cloves or garlic chopped finely
Wangjangle all of those things together
Add 2 or 3 tablespoons of hot water which you can add now or later. I added it just after the noodles finished cooking so that the sauce would be hotter going in
Boil 200 grams/7 ounces noodles. I used a bit less because I like my noodles drowning in sauce. That's also the reason I used more of all the other ingredients.
Then combinate those things and then also eat them.

That chili crisp is a home wrecker! I tried it for the first time years ago and I haven't seen my family since. It took everything from me!

That peanut noodle addiction is no joke! I tried them last year n its been on my goto order ever since. And yes the sauce was alot easier to make then i thought "was just experimenting with ingredients"

[@Jotil]

Too true. Find some good local pad thai place and your life is basically guaranteed over.

[@WILFRED1184]

You should try some peanut butter chicken. There is a Chinese restaurant in the next town over from me that has some and it is the bomb.

[@AidanS99]

Bro literally just cook some spaghetti noodles and add peanut butter, chili flakes, and garlic to it. No need to find a Thai restaurant.

[@NamelessThun]

Pro tip: use noodle water for the water you add to the soynutamelic buttericugarli, adds a bit more taste on top :D

[@pimblokto6222]

Robo-pro tip: use infiltered bearing grease for even more flavor.

[@jeghaterdegforfaen]

The water from the noodles could have been added to the sauce, instead you sacrificed it to the sink gods.

[@yousuckatcooking]

I poured some of it into my kettle first

[@gwennorthcutt421]

since the sauce is already thick as hell and the water is to dilute it, the extra starch isnt needed, so its fine

[@doug539]

You can try using sesame sauce as a replacement if you are not allergic to that. It is actually more authentic in Chinese cuisine to use sesame sauce than to use peanut butter.

[@huwmm]

@@doug539 you need to check the ingredient list on the sesame butter, it is usually a mixture of sesame and peanut, e.g. 7:3. It is not that easy to find an Asian mart that stock pure sesame butter.

tip for measuring out peanut butter and other viscuous stuff in spoons: lightly oil the spoon first. the pb will slide right out, no scraping needed! easier to clean too.

[@kinseylise8595]

I made this properly once three years ago from some youtube video and it was amazing so I kept making it every few weeks, but I couldn't find the video and forgot the recipe over time so each time I made it I'd include one fewer ingredients, forgetting what I was missing. By the end it was noodles, peanut butter, soy sauce, and water, at which point I stopped making it in disgust at my foul creation. Sesame oil was the last to go I believe, it was really keeping the whole thing from becoming a horrible texture.

[@dama9150]

That name build was really funny... Pretty much sums up German verbs and Thai names.

[@demolisherman1763]

Instead of regular water, use noodle bath water to hydrate the peanut sauce. This is so the starch emulsifies it and makes it smoother

@@yousuckatcooking Low carb for me, gluten free for my roommate ;)

[@MorteTheSkull]

this is fascinating, how would you say the texture of the cabbage turns out in the finished product? Just like, regular cabbage, or pickled cabbage, or like some sort of fancy cabbage from an international grocery, or what?

[@ceceliaclapham5424]

@@MorteTheSkull Depends on how thin you slice, how long you cook it for and what kind of fat you use. I find using butter and cooking until it actually gets some browning turns out fairly noodle-like but with that slight cabbage crunch still (not mushy). Olive oil works fine but it doesn't quite get the same brown and the texture is a little softer. If my roommate wasn't allergic to coconut I'd try coconut oil to see how that pairs with the peanut sauce. I usually slice the cabbage thinner so there's a good sauce distribution but my husband likes it thicker so it keeps more cabbage crunch.

[@xcptz6555]

That shit sucks, I've never hated the meal so much in my life. Disappointed myself and my mother. Tasted like a soggy peanut butter sandwich with salt. No garlic flavor, no soy sauce flavor - nothing, even tho I used all the right proportions. Perhaps chili oil/crisp would help, but I don't have those, so they were barely edible.
