How to Make Spicy Peanut Noodle Soup

2. In a large pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Stir in the peanut butter, soy sauce, and sriracha. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Add the cooked rice noodles to the pot and stir until well combined and heated through.
7. Serve hot, topped with fresh cucumber slices, chopped green onions, and cilantro if desired. Squeeze lime juice over each bowl for an extra zing!

Tips for the Best Results

• For a spicier kick, increase the sriracha to your liking.
• Make sure to rinse the rice noodles under cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and keep them from sticking.
• If you prefer a thicker soup, add an extra tablespoon of peanut butter.

Easy Variations

• Add cooked shrimp or chicken for a protein boost.
• Swap out the vegetable broth for chicken broth for a non-vegetarian option.
• Toss in a handful of spinach or bok choy for added greens and nutrients.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or garlic bread for dipping.
• A side salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Spring rolls for a delightful appetizer.
