Ingredients

For the Sauce

  • ? cup creamy peanut butter
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha or gochujang or to taste

For the Noodles

  • 8 ounces thin asian noodles like chow mein or rice noodles
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 cup diced carrot
  • 1 cup snap peas halved
  • 1 teaspoon grated garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • ¼ cup sliced green onion
  • Sesame seeds and chopped peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  • Add all of the sauce ingredients to a large microwave safe bowl and heat for 45 seconds. 
  • Whisk the sauce together until well combined and then set it aside until ready to use.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions. When the noodles are ready, drain them and run them under cool water just until they are no longer steaming (they will still be warm, that’s okay). 
  • Transfer the noodles to the bowl with the sauce and toss to combine. 
  • Heat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sesame oil. When the oil is fragrant, add the diced carrot.
  • Saute the carrots for 4-5 minutes, or until they are your desired crispness. Then add the snap peas, garlic, and ginger and cook for an additional minute. 
  • Add the vegetables to the pot with the noodles and sauce, toss to coat evenly.
  • Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds and chopped peanuts, if desired.
