These satay style noodles with a delightful peanut butter sauce can be made with either vegetarian mince or pork mince – perfect for vegetarians and meat eaters alike!
The incredible sauce is made from simply peanut butter, soy sauce, chilli oil and a splash of water. Those ingredients together are absolutely amazing – you have to try it!
I’ve used udon noodles here. I just find them so comforting – in fact, this is the most perfect comfort food dish. Quick to whip up in the evening and full of those gorgeous textures and flavours. You’re going to love it!
Ingredients, Substitutions and Variations
- Mince – I use vegetarian mince for this recipe. I find it caramelises nicely and gives a good texture. As mentioned above, pork mince is also suitable.
- Tenderstem broccoli– the thinner your broccoli, the less time you will need to cook it for so if you’re in a hurry, get young broccoli.
- Udon noodles – you can make this dish with medium noodles but honestly, it won’t be as good. Use the straight to wok variety or precook them.
- Peanut butter, soy sauce, chilli oil– these are your satay style sauce ingredients for your noodles. Smooth peanut butter is best (though crunchy will work) and dark soy sauce is preferable.
Top Tips
- Cooking the mince You want your mince to have a good amount of caramelisation and a good crunch, so cook for longer than you would for other mince recipes.
- Adding the noodles Straight to wok noodles don’t always break up right away – they need a bit of heat. To make it more instant, you can dunk them in boiling water for a second before adding to the wok.
- Chilli oil Even if you don’t like spice, I REALLY recommend using the chilli oil in this recipe. It’s not spicy – it just adds a gentle warmth. If you love spice, drizzle some more over the top before serving!
