I love a midweek stir fry because they’re quick, healthy and tasty, but this Peanut Butter Noodles with Halloumi recipe takes it to a whole new level! It’s a delicious veggie dish too.
If you haven’t added halloumi to any of your meals yet, please give this one a try – you will immediately realise what you’re missing! It’s the perfect cheese to cook with as a chicken or beef alternative as it’s so meaty and salty (and yes, a little bit squeaky too!)
This Peanut Butter Noodles with Halloumi recipe replicates a satay-style stir fry with a nod to the the flavours and style of Thailand or Indonesia, with easy to get hold of ingredients. It’s a quick win with peanut butter as the main sauce element.
The peanut butter I’ve used here costs 89p from Aldi and it featured in my budget Midweek Meal Plan, but use whichever brand or texture you prefer (I’ve used smooth but you could try crunchy). You can also mix up the vegetables to your taste too – or whichever ones the kids will eat!
You’ll love this recipe because:
Ingredients are cheap but full of flavour.
Cold leftovers are great for lunch (just add extra soy sauce).
Tastes like a takeaway!

FAQs about Sticky Peanut Butter Noodles with Halloumi
How many people does this serve?
Easily four adults. You could add more noodles or extra veg if you’d like more for leftovers for lunch the next day.
Could the peanut butter be swapped for a nut-free alternative?
I haven’t tried and tested these, but you could try tahini, sweet chilli sauce or teriyaki.
Can I swap the halloumi for meat?
Definitely! Chicken satay sauce is so delicious, and this would be very similar. Just make sure you cook the meat through before adding.
Can you really make peanut sauce from peanut butter?
It’s obviously not totally authentic satay, but peanut butter is a great ingredient because it melts into a sauce when heated up, is tasty and healthy too. There are so many ways you can use peanut butter.
