Fried Peanuts

Recently I made some delicious Fried Peanuts with Garlic and Basil (Kacang tojin). Those fried peanuts are a traditional Indonesian recipe, and that’s my version of the dish.

We ate quite a few of these peanuts, and my husband came up with the idea of adding them to pasta, specifically rice noodles.

How to make the Peanut Rice Noodles recipe

I loved the idea. So, I thought about how I would go about making that into a dish. Of course, I wanted there to be veggies. But I didn’t want the veggies to upstage the peanuts. So, simple cabbage and shredded carrots would be perfect.

In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, you could buy a bag of coleslaw mix, just a simple blend of cabbage and carrots, or maybe the broccoli slaw mix, and use 2 & ½ cups of that instead of chopping your own cabbage. That would be a great time saver.

And, I wanted it to have a nice light Asian sauce with great flavor. One of my go-to dishes is this Chow Mein or yakisoba & the sauce on that would also be perfect for these Peanut Rice Noodles.

Peanut Rice Noodles recipe notes

I like this dish with the rice noodles. If you can’t find {affiliate link} rice noodles you can substitute Lo Mein, Yakisoba, or thin spaghetti noodles.

My bag of rice noodles told me to simply soak the noodles in hot water for 10 minutes. This preparation is a great plus on hot summer days! You don’t have to boil water for 10 minutes heating up the kitchen!

This dish is great served hot when first made, at room temperature, or cold from the fridge like a pasta salad.

I always have a bag of those shredded carrots in the fridge, so it makes adding some veggies to any meal nice and easy.

Cabbage

My husband and I have different preferences on the doneness of sautéed cabbage. He prefers his to be a little more well done and browned, while I prefer mine a little more rare (soft).

Cook the cabbage to your liking for this recipe. I give you a guide of about 10 minutes total cooking time for the cabbage, but feel free to cook it longer or for less time as you prefer.

    I have a question about the fried peanuts. Are we meant to follow the link and make that recipe for fried peanuts or just to fry plain peanuts.

    Letha, This noodle dish gets so much flavor from the fried peanuts with garlic & basil. So, yes, you’ll want to follow the link and make those peanuts. https://lifecurrentsblog.com/fried-peanuts-with-garlic-and-basil/ If you don’t want to do that additional step, you could just use plain fried peanuts or plain roasted ones. It won’t be quite as good with the plain ones though.
