Instructions

Cook noodles as per the instructions on the packet. Do not overcook them as they will become mushy and break.
Mix peanut butter, coconut amino, sweet seasoning sauce, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and water using a whisk. Set it aside. Chef tip - Add water gradually to get the desired peanut sauce consistency. If you add too much in the beginning, the sauce will become very runny. Another tip - Add all these ingredients to a mason jar and shake it till it's well combined. This easy peanut sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
Heat sesame oil in a wok. Fry ginger and garlic. Fry till the garlic turns golden.
Add spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
Now add the cooked noodles.
Followed by the mixed sauces.
Mix it all until it's all well combined. Do not over-stir the noodles as they can break easily. taste first and then add salt if needed along with pepper. Then take the wok off the flame.
Before serving, garnish with chili oil, toasted sesame seeds, and roasted peanuts. Chef tip - To give it an extra kick, drizzle some Sriracha (or red pepper flakes) or fresh lemon juice for that extra tang, on top.

Notes

Substitute sweet seasoning sauce with sugar or maple syrup. If you are not vegan, you can also use honey, vegan honey, or hot honey. Black or white sesame seeds can be used. Toast them before adding them to release their nutty flavor. Combine peanut butter and peanut butter powder to lower the overall fat. Sprinkle noodle water, water, or broth on the peanut noodles if they feel too dry when cooked.
