No reviews

Sometimes we just need food to happen fast. Like, water barely boiling, stomach already yelling, everything needs to be on the table 10 minutes ago fast.

These peanut chili noodles are exactly for that kind of day. They’re nutty from the peanut butter and tahini, a little spicy from the chili oil, bright with lime, and super cozy once everything gets tossed together with buttery scallions and chewy Taiwanese-style noodles. It’s quick, but it still tastes like you actually took care of yourself.
