Method

  1. Mix the peanut butter, chilli sauce, 100ml water and soy sauce to make a smooth satay sauce. Put the noodles in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Stir gently to separate, then drain thoroughly.
  2. Heat the oil in a wok, then stir-fry the ginger and harder pieces of veg from the stir-fry mix, such as peppers, for 2 mins. Add the noodles and rest of the veg, then stir-fry over a high heat for 1-2 mins until the veg are just cooked.
  3. Push the veg to one side of the pan, then pour the peanut sauce into the other side, tilting the pan. Bring to the boil. Mix the sauce with the stir-fry, then sprinkle over the basil leaves and peanuts to serve.
Try

Stir-fry even quicker

When stir-frying, if your vegetables aren't cooking as quickly as you'd like, add a splash of water to the pan. This creates a shot of steam and helps them to cook quicker - great for veg like broccoli and beans.

    Just eaten this and it really was yummy! Made half the amount just for me. Was going to eat the rest tomorrow but I can't stop picking at it. It's delicious cold too!

    I was a little sceptical when I had a bowl full of mashed up crunchy peanut butter and other stuff sauce, it looked a bit wrong (like curdled milk with lumps in it). But I should have had faith - once it's mixed in with everything it really is fantastic!

    I really didn't enjoy this, too much peanut butter - just tasted wrong in my opinion. My boyfriend keeps referring to it as the "sunpat stirfry"!

    This was truly delicious! I've had this 2 times now. The first time I had it with diced turkey because I was wary of how a 100% veggie dish could be filling. It was good, but there was far too much food! The second time I kept to the recipe and it was just right so I'll go with that in the future. One small point is that I cooked dry egg noodles instead of using fresh noodles and I don't think it really made a difference - it was still yummy!

    Very yummy! I used whole earth peanut butter which is less sweet than something like sunpat so maybe that helped. Very impressed with the satay sauce - a great store cupboard back up and took only a few minutes to make.

    I love this!! So easy, and so quick to make it's fine even when I'm shattered from work. Will try it with chicken next.

    I made it without the ginger as i didn't have any in the house but it still tasted good, i will try again with the ginger and hopefully it will be even better :-)

    Well, maybe I've done something wrong, but my sauce wasn't more watery, it was more or less in a consistency of peanut butter. Nice, but can't eat too much, so it's pretty good :P

    This is my ultimate favourite stir fry! Despite how the sauce may look at the start, it really does work out at the end. I use the straight to wok singapore noodles from sainsburys (not sure of the brand), then I use the pack of stir fry veg from sainsburys that has lemon grass, pak choi, baby corn and mange tout and tenderstem brocolli. And thats all I do! (Ok so not quite the recipe described!) The lemon grass with it is perfect and I could eat it every week!

    This has just gone top of the list for stirfrys! Didn't add the basil or chopped peanuts, as I didn't have any, but this was still delicious.

    This was really tasty. I added some chicken mini fillets along with the softer veg at the end to warm through and didn't bother sprinkling with peanuts. Nice balance of spice with the peanut butter.
