Steps
Step 1Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the noodles and green beans and cook for 3 minutes, or until the green beans are bright green and noodles float. Drain.
Step 2Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, sambal oelek, brown sugar, peanut butter, ginger, garlic, and stock. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, add the noodles and green beans and cook, stirring often, until the sauce is absorbed, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions and cilantro and stir to combine.
Step 3Transfer noodles to a large platter and top with green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and crushed peanuts to serve.
