This is my personal version of the “Indonesian Peanut Saute” from Noodles & Co. It turned out just like it! It got my hubby’s stamp of approval. In fact, he said “this is my favorite Thai noodle dish I have ever had.. even better than Noodles & Co.”
Ingredients
- 1-2 Lbs. chicken, cut into thin strips
- vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp Sriracha chili sauce
- juice of 1 lime
- 3 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, minced
- 3-4 shakes soy sauce
- salt & pepper (to taste)
- 16 oz. (1 pkg.) linguine noodles
- shoestring carrots
- broccoli florets, chopped
- green onion
- bean sprouts
- peanuts
- 2-3 limes, sliced
- PEANUT SAUCE:
- 1 c. chicken broth
- 6 Tbsp. (heaping) creamy peanut butter
- 2-4 tsp. Sriracha chili sauce - depending on how hot you like it
- 3 Tbsp. honey
- 6 Tbsp. soy sauce
- 3 Tbsp. fresh minced ginger
- 4-5 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Instructions
- In a large skillet, saute chicken in oil, Sriracha, lime, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, salt & pepper. While chicken is cooking, prepare the linguine (to al dente) and make the peanut sauce. After the chicken is cooked, remove from the skillet and wrap in foil to keep warm.
- Re-oil the skillet, add vegetables and saute (except for the bean sprouts, add those a few minutes before serving so they are still nice and crunchy and don't get overcooked). Add the chicken and bean sprouts to the skillet, cover, and reduce heat.
- Drain noodles and stir them together with the peanut sauce. Top with veggies & chicken and garnish with peanuts and limes.
- FOR THE PEANUT SAUCE: Combine chicken broth, peanut butter, chili sauce, honey, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic in a small saucepan over medium-low heat until sauce becomes smooth and well blended.

This looks really good. I need to try this.
This was REALLY good! My gluten-free hubby loved it and my kids ages 3, 5, and 7 also ate it. They kept saying, “My lips are burning/My chin is burning.” I substituted rice noodles for the linguine, but other than that we followed the recipe precisely.
I love the Indonesian peanut saute at noodles and this recipe was even better!!! I used rice noodles instead of linguine and tofu instead of chicken (vegetarian), but other than that I followed the recipe almost exactly. Thanks for posting!
I used rice noodles. It turned out very good. As good as or better than Noodles and Co!!
Great recipe! I used only red peppers and broccoli for veggies and it turned out great. One warning – I used some where between the 3 tsp. and 4 Tbs. listed for chili sauce in the peanut sauce and it turned out just the way I like it – very hot. My two year old held a different opinion, however.
Yum yum!! Very good, and really is very close to Noodles & Co, the only thing I'll do different next time is add more honey, I think the only thing that kept it from tasting exactly like Noodles & Co was it wasn't quite as sweet. Thanks for the great recipe!
I tried this a few days ago and it was much too hot (and I like hot). I would use the minimum Sriracha chili sauce next time. The flavor was good though.
thanks for a great recipe! Made tonight and loved it. Had to cut back a bit on the Sriracha sauce because we can't handle things too hot, but other than that stuck to the recipe. Thanks for a great recipe website!!
Very good! I had shrimp instead of chicken and I threw in some waterchestnuts and bamboo shoots because they were in the pantry. I also cut back on the hot sauce a bit after reading the other comments. It was just the right combination of spicy and sweet!
Thai Peanut dishes are my fav!! Can't wait to try this! Thanks! :0)
Looks just amazing, and I gorgeous photo. I just "pinned" it
I made this recipe last night and it was AMAZING! I doubled the peanut sauce recipe because we like a lot of sauce and leftovers! (I also used a lot of veggies) As I was cooking the peanut sauce I tasted it several times and decided to add 2 more tbsp sriracha and 2 tbsps honey. To get the consistency I wanted I added more peanut butter. I also used chunky and it worked out very well! Next time I may try this dish over rice as well! We will be adding this dish to our favs! Thank you so much!
@ Steffani– You are a woman after my own heart… I ALWAYS add more sriracha because I like it pretty hot! I am always worried to put on the recipe how much Sriracha I REALLY use because I know most people don't like it as hot as I do. I am so glad that you liked it, it is definitely a "rotation" recipe at our house too!
Thanks of all of your nice comments!

This is so delicious! I've never had Noodles & Co.'s version but now I'm not sure I need to. I will definitely be making this again! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes, I love your blog!
I am making this hopefully tomorrow! Love this dish and can't wait to try making it at home. Thai food is oh so yum
This is my husband and I's favorite dish. The only thing is, we got it from Our Best Bites. Yours is the exact same recipe, just double the ingredient amounts.

I made this tonight and it was yummy but my sauce was SUPER runny..
Very sad.. IDK what I did wrong..
Stephanie– to be honest, I don’t know either! It usually turns out perfectly! I would say maybe cut down on some of the liquids next time to get it to the consistency you like. Also, make sure your noodles are well drained. Other than that I don’t know what to suggest!
