Easy Weeknight Peanut Noodles with Roasted Broccoli.


I beg and hope and plead that these peanut noodles will be your dinner tonight!

These are the most delicious peanut noodles! Tossed with roasted broccoli, red peppers, scallions, peanuts and an incredibly flavorful sauce!

Ummm, new favorite meal alert! 

I know, I know, I say it ALL THE TIME. But it’s true! Every few weeks I create something that is good enough to eat at multiple meals, multiple days in a row. And it makes me so happy.

This is kind of a reject recipe from the book that I’m currently working on. Okay, it’s not an ACTUAL reject, but here’s the thing. It’s been sitting in my to-do pile for the book and at some point I realized that it was just too similar to my 15 minutes sesame noodles in The Pretty Dish. Flavor-wise, it’s not similar at all, but the whole feel of the peanut noodles+ramen didn’t feel new and exclusive enough for Everyday Dinners.

So here we are!

I ended up testing the recipe anyway and we just about died over how delicious the whole bowl was. Couldn’t even take it. It’s one of those recipes that I had to then make again for dinner (like, the same day) and one that I was even craving for lunch the next day. In case you don’t get it yet…

THESE ARE SO GOOD. 

And this is exactly the kind of dinner that I love!

The noodles take minutes. Yes, like only minutes! The noodles cook in less than ten minutes (if you use ramen like I did here, it takes about three minutes) and the sauce comes together in a few minutes too. 

You know what takes the longest? Roasting the broccoli! But it’s so worth it. It adds a depth of flavor to the noodles as well as gives them some nice, roasty texture. Plus… together the noodles and broccoli taste amazing.

If you’re really in a time pickle, you can just toss the broccoli into the noodles raw or toast them in the skillet for a second. 

And let me just say it: adding in the broccoli here makes this even more of a satisfying meal. You don’t need to add anything else to this bowl – no chicken or shrimp or anything! I promise this is filling enough.

Unless you’re Eddie. If you’re Eddie, you might add an entire filet to the top or something. But you get my drift.

IF (and that’s a big if) you find this more suitable as a side dish, it makes a great one paired with salmon.

Not only does it work as such a delicious lunch or dinner, my favorite way to make it might be as a late night snack. I mean, it tastes even better when you’re super hungry late at night.

Leftovers work too! The leftovers are really flavorful, they just aren’t saucy. The noodles absorb most of the sauce so while everything still has a lot of flavor, it’s not swimming in sauce. You might even like that better! 

Guys these are even good eaten COLD straight from the fridge. I cannot take how much I love them. 

Make ’em!!!
