Ingredients

For the noodles

1 package Happy Veggie World Lemongrass Chick'n
400 g fresh or shelf-stable udon noodles, quick-cook wheat noodles or vegan ramen noodles
1 teaspoon neutral cooking oil
2 green onions, thinly sliced
¼ cup crushed peanuts
Lime wedges, for serving

For the quick peanut-lime sauce

¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce, sriracha or sambal oelek
1 small garlic clove, finely grated or minced
½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger (optional)
2 to 4 tablespoons hot water or noodle cooking water, as needed

Instructions

Make the peanut-lime sauce

In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, maple syrup, sesame oil, chili sauce, garlic and ginger if using. Add hot water or noodle cooking water 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce is smooth, glossy and pourable.
Cook the noodles

Cook the noodles according to the package directions. For a true 10-minute recipe, use fresh udon, shelf-stable noodles or quick-cook vegan ramen-style noodles. Drain and set aside.
Heat the Lemongrass Chick'n

While the noodles cook, heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add the Lemongrass Chick'n and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until hot and lightly caramelized at the edges.
Toss everything together

Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the Lemongrass Chick'n. Pour the peanut-lime sauce over top and toss until the noodles are evenly coated. If the sauce feels too thick, add another splash of hot water or noodle water until it loosens and coats smoothly.
Finish and serve

Divide the noodles between bowls. Top with sliced green onions, crushed peanuts and a squeeze of fresh lime. Serve immediately.

Easy product swap

This noodle recipe is flexible. We love it with Lemongrass Chick'n, but the same peanut-lime noodle base works with other Happy Veggie World favourites. Keep the noodles, peanut sauce, lime, green onion and peanuts, then swap in another product for a new quick noodle meal.

Why this recipe works

Peanut noodles need balance. Peanut butter gives the sauce richness, soy sauce adds savoury depth, lime and rice vinegar bring brightness, maple syrup softens the edges, and chili sauce adds just enough heat. The Lemongrass Chick'n keeps the dish from feeling one-note, adding aromatic, savoury flavour that pairs naturally with peanut, lime, ginger and chili.

Make it extra good

For more texture, add a quick topping or two: thinly sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, fresh cilantro, chili crisp, toasted sesame seeds or extra crushed peanuts. Keep the toppings simple so the dish still feels fast.

Keep it vegan: To keep this fully vegan, use vegan-friendly noodles, sauces and toppings. This recipe contains peanuts, soy and wheat unless you use verified alternatives; check product packaging before preparing for guests with allergies or dietary restrictions.
