I’m convinced you can put peanut butter on anything.
It’s even good on bacon.
There’s not bacon in this peanut sauce, but now that I think of it… there night be next time! This was strange enough for round 1 though, particularly when you add kelp noodles.
Don’t be scared of kelp noodles – they don’t really taste like anything and, for those that are concerned, they are gluten-free and nearly calorie-free. The weirdest part about these noodles is the texture; they’re almost crunchy! You could use this sauce with any noodle though. And you could top it with anything. I chose the tasty Sizzlefish Thai Salmon.
Fenugreek might also be strange to some of you. It’s often found in curry dishes and have a sweet-ish nutty flavor. I think it compliments peanut nicely.
Speaking of peanut, I ordered my Protein Plus, Roasted All Natural Peanut Flour from Amazon. If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it. It doesn’t have all the added stuff in other peanut powders – it’s just straight up peanut flour. If you don’t have it on hand, just sub in your favorite nut butter and reduce the liquid a bit.
from Amazon.
Peanut Sriracha Noodle Bowl
- 1 package Kelp Noodles
- 1/4 C Peanut Flour (or peanut butter)
- 1 T Sriracha
(adjust to taste – I like it hot)
- Juice of 2 limes
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp fenugreek
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/8 C milk (I used cashew)
- Spiralized carrot
- Snow peas, sliced
- Baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- Protein of your choosing
Rinse kelp noodles. Transfer to a large bowl and cut to desired length.
In a medium bowl, stir together peanut flour, lime juice, spices, and milk. You may have to adjust the amount of milk depending on the size of your limes.
Toss noodles with sauce and veggies. Allow to marinate and soften in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
Top with protein of your choosing (I used salmon).

This weekend Vegas and I are picking citrus for a crop swapping thing, then going to play beach volleyball. I feel like this makes me an official Californian.
Have you ever tried kelp noodles?
What are you doing this weekend?
this is one of my FAV dishes to make. It tastes like something that should be VERY bad for us haha!!
Kelp noodles you say? Interesting. I actually love that they have a crunch to them… This whole dish sounds delicious and a must try.
Yep! I hear you. I definitely think peanut butter will go with anything….actually, last year some friends and i were discussing, and we said that we could not think of any food that could not be made better by adding either peanut butter or bacon to it…..other than maaayyybe sushi! Thoughts? Delicious meal !
There’s a restaurant in ATL that have a jar of PB and bacon on it’s appetizer menu. It’s fantastic.
Love making peanut flour and sriracha sauce! Definitely one of my go-tos. I’m looking forward to making it with spiralized sweet potato noodles.
That’s such a good idea! I haven’t don sweet potato noodles in wayyyy too long.
Are kelp noodles similar to shirataki noodles? I actually don’t mind those.
Not really… shirataki are more spongy to me. Nutritionally they are similar though. Same idea.
I have never tried kelp noodles but love the idea of them – sea vegetables are full of awesome nutrients, this is just in noodle form, win win! This looks so good (although I would use almond butter… Don’t shoot me! Haha!)
Have a fab weekend! Oh what I would give for a weekend in the Cali sun! 🙂
I don’t judge on the almond butter – I thought about using it instead!
Add but butter to everything! You can never go wrong. I need to cut back a little. Eating out of the jar is getting out of control.
Haven’t tried peanut flour or kelp noodles! Interesting 🙂
Let me know if you do try it. The peanut flour is a staple for me!
yes yes, you can! pb on all the foods! i even put pb on tortilla chips once.. now that’s strange!
I’d totally eat that.
I have like the same recipe on my blog! hahaha!
I don’t even know what kelp noodles are but I’m a fan of anything containing peanuts!
LOVE this recipe. Love that it can be cold or room temp.
I am dying to know what fenugreek tastes like now.
You must try it! I’m thinking I could even use it in baking…
this looks amayz. seriously, i can put sriracha and peanuts on anything and be happy. add bacon? i might die, it’s too much… but not really. yumm.
i have tried those shiritaki noodles but not kelp, must try them. i always love your recommendations and tend to order a few things that you suggest – i have the peanut flour and kelp noodles in my cart as i type, it’s friggin thrilling as shit over here, LOL.
have a fantastic citrus filled time, that sounds fun! we are… dun dun dun. PACKING. save yourself. yes, it’s happening. thank goodness for your tips 🙂
and hopefully i’ll squeeze out a long run on sunday morning with my peeps, it’s good therapy for packing.
happy friday!
Please let me know what you think if you try it! I actually like the kelp better than shiritaki just because of that funky smell. LOL!
Hope you had a good run!
Ummmm yessss will be trying. Haven’t tried kelp noodles so now I must. And Yep u can add nut butter to anythang hahahha!!!
Let me know what you think! You don’t have to marinate them, but I like it better because it softens them a bit.
Did someone say bacon and salmon in the same post? You can’t do that to me girl.. I got so damn excited lol. But I am loving this noodle dish. It just looks delectable. The only thing it’s missing is bacon ;).

Oh, the things I miss out on not being able to eat peanut butter! I really have to explore the peanut free peanut options for peanut butter (say that fast five times), because this looks to die for.
Thanks! I think it would be awesome with almond or sunflower butter! Or macadamia!
I make something similar but use zucchini “noodles” (spiralized zucchini), sometimes tofu, and always add whatever extra veggies I have (spinach, broccoli, peas, kale, etc…) – SO YUM
I do zucchini noodles a lot too! I love them in Italian dishes!
I love peanut butter but using it in sauces on savory foods has always been the hold-back for me…something about it doesn’t sit quite right in my mind!
Sounds great, but I’ll have to use Almond butter, my daughter has a peanut allergy.
Did I mention how I am terrified of KELP NOODLES?!?!? Eeps! But I am glad you like them! 😉 I used to ADORE THEM.
Maybe we can put our urchin on kelp noodles?!
Yummy I love Thai inspired food and peanut sauce!!!
