Extra Spicy Peanut Hoisin One Pan Noodles

This is one of those recipes that saves dinner on busy nights but still feels exciting. Everything cooks in one pan, the sauce builds itself as the noodles soften, and the heat level is bold without overpowering the flavors.

The combination of hoisin, sweet chili, oyster sauce, and chili oil creates that glossy, crave-worthy finish you usually only get from takeout. I love using KAME udon noodles here because they cook quickly and soak up sauce beautifully, but the real star is how the vegetables and noodles cook together in the same pan. The mushrooms release moisture, the bell pepper softens just enough to stay crisp, and the sauce thickens naturally as everything simmers.

The peanuts add crunch, the cilantro brings freshness, and the squeeze of lime cuts through the richness. If you like spicy food, this is the kind of dish you’ll keep coming back to — easy enough for weeknights, bold enough to feel special.
