Spicy Noodle Sauce
The secret to the dish is the amazing spicy noodle sauce. It uses 3 very simple pantry staples – soy sauce, maple syrup, and sriracha – to create the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors. A there’s a little bit of cornstarch to help the sauce thicken once it’s mixed in with the noodles.
How To Make Spicy Asian Noodles
- First, cook your Asian brown rice noodles according to the directions on the package. And, prepare your sauce while the noodles cook. Simply whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl.
- Once the noodles are finished cooking, drain and add them back to the saucepan. Then, pour the spicy noodle sauce over then noodles and stir until the sauce thickens.
What Kind Of Noodles Should I Use?
I love using Brown Pad Thai Rice Noodles because they cook fast and easy. But, truthfully, any pasta noodle will work for this recipe. You can use spaghetti, linguine, or even fettuccine.
Tips & Tricks For Making Spicy Asian Noodles
- Garnish: Additions like peanuts, cilantro, green onion, sesame seeds, and lime really elevate the flavors of this dish. So, don’t be afraid to use them.
- Additions: Try adding steamed veggies, easy baked tofu, or grilled tofu to make this dish even heartier.
- Pasta: Any long pasta works. This is also a great dish for using leftover pasta from the fridge.
- Versatility: These spicy Asian noodles can be served hot, cold, or room temperature.
- Adjust The Heat: You can omit the sriracha if spicy ain’t yo’ thang. If you want more heat sprinkle a little red pepper on the noodles.

Absolutely NOT! I like creating blank canvases that get people started. Go crazy:)
Oh my gosh! A friend showed up unexpectedly at lunch time, so what to make that was fast and that I had all the ingredients for; this was it! I quadrupled the sauce with a bag of rice noodles and added sautéed onions, red bell pepper, carrots and mushrooms. Fantastic. Three of us ate the entire batch. Delicious and lots of compliments. So nice to have a quick recipe with items always have on hand. Thanks Shane!

That’s so great!
Wow, so good! I had to make with half the Sriracha as I’m super sensitive to spicy-hot stuff and it just hit my threshold for spice, while Hubby enjoyed it *thoroughly* and added some more Sriracha to his bowl. Thanks for yummy easy healthy dishes!

Saw this recipe on your Facebook page. I quickly stir fried up some broccoli and kale, tossed in some leftover pasta and poured over a double (didn’t double the siracha) batch if sauce. I cleaned up while the sauce thickened. Lunch was ready in 15 minutes and it was delicious! Will definitely be making this sauce over and over!

Thanks, Shane, for another easy, delicious recipe! I quadrupled the recipe (just doubled the sriracha, used a full box of brown rice noodles, and water sautéed sliced onion, red bell pepper, celery, and broccoli. Also added your easy baked tofu. Heated it all up together and topped with chopped green onions and sesame seeds. So yummy — definitely a keeper recipe!

This is awesome! Easy to make and so flavorful. It satisfies my spicy cravings and isn’t overly sweet. I added some broccoli but next time I’m going to saute other veggies to go with it. Thanks so much for a great recipe.
