Everyone loves Thai recipes, and this easy noodle recipe is Thai-inspired, but you don’t need to trek to Asian stores to get all the ingredients.
As the name suggests, this Thai sweet chili peanut noodles calls for only four key ingredients: noodles, Thai sweet chili sauce, peanut butter and vinegar.

Hi!
What can I substitute for the apple cidar vinegar?
Thank you!
Another kind of acidic vinegar or lime juice.
How do you think it would work with rice vinegar?
Yes it works.
Rice noodle is not going to work well with this recipe due to a completely different texture. You can cut down the apple cider vinegar.
I love this recipe as does my wife, so we make it often. The other night I was on my own for dinner as she was out with the girls, and I made a batch, in which I substituted chiu chow chili oil for about half of the Thai sweet chili sauce. I usually add it to my noodles anyway, a spoon or two, but mixing it in at the start makes it more thoroughly mixed and alters the flavor a bit, more Chinese than Thai, but still very delicious. Chiu chow chili oil is one of my favorite Asian condiments.
I’ve also considered using tahini in place of at least part of the peanut butter but haven’t tried it yet. A wonderful recipe that is not onlyl delicious but serves as a good base for experimentation!
Hi Jeff, sounds yummy!
I made this without any modifications. It was good, but the peanut butter component was a bit too strong. Next time I’ll reduce the peanut butter by one-third.
Hi Christopher, thanks for your feedback. Yes, you can definitely adjust the recipe to fit your taste. :)
How about using mung bean glass noodles?
I love noodles and Asian Food, but I can’t eat rice or other noodles without my blood sugar going sky high, but the glass noodles have only a slight affect.
I’m trying to get my shy Thai daughter in law to help me, but she hasn’t responded well.
My son said something like she’s imbarrassed to cook for me, because she doesn’t think she cooks good. It’s only been a year hopefully she will see I adore her and won’t judge.
Yes you can.
hey, this looks great. would that work with egg noodles?
Yes.
Made this last night and it was a real hit. I paired it with the Thai cucumber salad, and it was a meal we all enjoyed.Thank you for both recipes.
Hi Michelle, yummy sounds like a great combo. I love it. Thanks for trying my recipe! :)
Absolutely delicious–but I used rice noodles. Not because I have anything against gluten, but they are easily available in my supermarket and I like them. This recipe is super simple and a change from the sesame peanut noodles we often enjoy
