Introduction
Some of the best meals come together with ingredients you already have at home.
This Peanut Butter Noodle Recipe is one of them.
Creamy peanut butter is transformed into a savoury noodle sauce with aromatic garlic, fresh spring onion, chilli flakes, and chilli oil. Tossed with Prolicious Millet Vermicelli, it creates a simple meal that's rich, creamy, and full of flavour.
The nutty peanut butter works surprisingly well with the spicy chilli and garlic, making every bite satisfying.

What Makes This Recipe High-Protein?
The combination of Prolicious Millet Vermicelli and peanut butter gives this dish a protein boost.
Peanut butter also contributes healthy fats and makes the meal more satisfying, while the millet-based vermicelli provides protein and fibre depending on the product formulation.
For an even higher-protein meal, you can add tofu, paneer, or edamame.

This recipe takes a simple pantry staple peanut butter and turns it into a delicious savoury noodle sauce.
It stands out because it:
• Uses millet vermicelli instead of conventional noodles

• Takes very little time to prepare
• Can easily be customised with vegetables or protein
