How to Make Mar Mar Noodles

  1. Toast the peanuts: In a large skillet, heat peanut oil over medium heat. Add peanuts and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown (about 8 minutes). Set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Make the sauce: Transfer the toasted peanuts and oil to a food processor. Add jalapeno, garlic, and ginger. Process until finely minced.
  3. Blend the sauce: Add soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, sriracha, brown sugar, and sesame oil to the food processor. Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Season the sauce: Taste and season generously with salt. Adjust sriracha for desired spice level.
  5. Cook the noodles: Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well. You can rinse with cold water for a cold noodle salad, or proceed directly to the next step for a hot noodle dish.
  6. Combine and serve: Toss the hot or cold noodles with the peanut sauce. Stir in optional ingredients like bean sprouts and chicken.
  7. Garnish and enjoy: Garnish with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge. Serve immediately.
