Print Recipe

A quick and easy Thai-inspired dish featuring creamy peanut sauce tossed with rice noodles and topped with a perfectly soft-boiled egg for a comforting and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) rice noodles (thin or medium-width)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) natural creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut milk (full-fat preferred)
  • 3 tbsp (45 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 tbsp (12 g) brown sugar (or maple syrup/honey)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) rice vinegar (or white vinegar)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2–4 soft boiled eggs
  • 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh lime juice
  • Fresh cilantro and chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring 6 cups (1.4 L) of water to a boil in a large pot. Add rice noodles and cook according to package instructions (usually 4-5 minutes) until just tender but still chewy. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.
  2. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently add 2-4 large eggs and cook for exactly 6 minutes for a perfect soft center. Immediately transfer eggs to an ice bath for 5 minutes, then peel carefully.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Lower heat and whisk in peanut butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir continuously until smooth and warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in fresh lime juice.
  5. Transfer drained noodles to a large mixing bowl. Pour warm peanut sauce over noodles and toss gently until evenly coated.
  6. Divide noodles into bowls. Halve the soft-boiled eggs and place on top. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro.

Notes

If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of warm water or extra coconut milk to loosen it. Use a timer for perfect soft-boiled eggs. Rinse noodles after cooking to prevent sticking. Natural peanut butter without added sugar or salt works best for a clean sauce.
