 Welcome to Put on a Spread, a recipe series that takes you inside the kitchens – and dining rooms – of some of our favourite home cooks. For this instalment, Melbourne-based cook and MasterChef winner Diana Chan shares her quick and easy recipe for spicy peanut noodles.

As far as mouthwatering dishes go, Diana Chan's spicy peanut noodles have to be up the top of our list. This gem of a recipe is quick, simple, and delightfully full of flavour, requiring mostly pantry staples and a few other ingredients.

Silky noodles are coated in a wonderful umami combination of peanuts, soy sauce, garlic, sesame oil, ginger, and chilli oil, topped with sesame seeds and spring onions for a fresh hit.
