Ingredients

• 8 ounces rice noodles

• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sriracha (adjust to taste)

How to Make Spicy Peanut Noodle Soup

2. In a large pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
3. Stir in the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, sriracha, and lime juice. Mix until well combined and the peanut butter is fully incorporated.
4. Add the corn to the pot and cook for about 3-5 minutes, allowing it to heat through.
5. Season the broth with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a spicier soup, feel free to add more sriracha at this stage.
6. Fold the cooked rice noodles into the soup, ensuring they are coated with the flavorful broth.
7. Serve the soup hot, garnished with sliced cucumber, green onions, and cilantro if desired.

Tips for the Best Results

• For extra protein, consider adding cooked chicken, tofu, or shrimp to the soup.
• Adjust the consistency by adding more broth if you prefer a thinner soup.
• Let the soup sit for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Easy Variations

• Substitute almond butter for peanut butter for a different flavor profile.
• Use zucchini noodles instead of rice noodles for a low-carb option.
• Add other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or snap peas for more variety.

What to Serve With It

• Crusty bread or baguette for dipping.
• A side salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Spring rolls for an added crunch.
• Steamed dumplings for a comforting addition.
