Pad Thai Noodle Bowls with Spicy Peanut Sauce

These Pad Thai Noodle Bowls with Spicy Peanut Sauce are easy to make and loaded with flavor! They are also great for meal prepping lunches for the week!

I’ve been trying to do more meal prepping lately because the weeks seem to be getting busier and busier the closer it gets to my sons graduation.

I still can’t believe I’m going to have a high school graduate in a few weeks. Make time stop!

But I’m sure you are here for this yummy recipe, so I’m not going to ramble on anymore. 🙂

I’ve been trying to use up a lot of my pantry foods that are expiring soon. I had a package of Rice Pad Thai Noodles, but didn’t feel like making Pad Thai.

I wanted something cold like a noodle salad, so this ended up being my creation!

I was trying to figure out what kind of dressing to make and then I remembered I did a recipe many years ago, (one of the first recipes on the blog in fact) for a Spicy Peanut Sauce. 

So that is what I went with and it totally complimented this noodle bowl! It worked out perfectly too because I was able to update my photos from that post, which desperately needed updating!

I hope you love this Pad Thai Noodle Bowls with Spicy Peanut Sauces much as we did! It’s:

• Easy to make
• Great for meal prepping
• Spicy
• Filling
• Loaded with flavor
