Give the iconic peanut sesame noodles from Shanghai a try at home with this recipe, ready on your dinner table in just 15 minutes! 

 

These noodles are inspired by the peanut sesame noodles from Wei Xiang Zai, a tiny Shanghai noodle restaurant that got global attention after Tom Holland and Zendaya visited and sang its praises. It's not hard to see why they loved these noodles so much: they're creamy, spicy, and comforting all in one, largely thanks to a blend of peanut butter and Lee Kum Kee Sesame Sauce. 

 

Two key important steps to remember for this recipe: First, make sure you wash the noodles in cold water after cooking, as this removes excess starch and keeps the noodles from sticking together. Second, make sure to have Lee Kum Kee Chiu Chow Style Chili Crisp Oil on the side, as this is the perfect spicy garnish to offset the creamy and flavorful noodles.
