Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Noodles

    Cook the spaghetti or rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

    Rinse the noodles under cold water to prevent sticking.
  2. Make the Sauce

    In a mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and water. Whisk until smooth.

    Adjust water to achieve desired sauce consistency.
  3. Cook the Vegetables

    In a skillet, sauté your choice of vegetables over medium heat until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

    Add a splash of water to help steam the veggies.
  4. Combine Noodles and Sauce

    Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the peanut sauce over them. Toss to combine evenly.

    Heat through for 2-3 minutes to warm everything.
  5. Serve

    Plate the peanut noodles and garnish with chopped peanuts, green onions, lime juice, and red pepper flakes if desired.

    Serve warm for best flavor.
