I've been looking back at past issues of food magazines I've held on to and found this recipe for spicy peanut and szechuan pepper noodles in the May 2019 Olive magazine. I didn't make it at the time...not sure why...!!
It's a pretty spicy dish, but we really enjoy it. Feel free to dial back the amount of szechuan peppercorns used, or deseed the chillis if you know they're spicy, if you want to reduce a bit of the heat.
I love satay sauce, and this spicy hot version with egg noodles and vegetables is full of flavour, and the vegetables still have some bite too.
Tips
- To blanch the broccoli and edamame beans – add the vegetables to a saucepan of boiling salted water. Bring back to the boil, cover with the lid and simmer for 2 minutes. Drain in a colander and refresh under cold water. Set aside until ready to be added at step 2 of the instructions.
- This spicy peanut and szechuan pepper noodles recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
