1 box noodles, cooked

 

1 recipe Spicy Peanut Sauce

 

Added veggies

 

This is pretty simple. I cook the noodles (spiral noodles or shaped

noodles work well, but spaghetti is more traditional) . While they

are cooking, I prepare the sauce. If the peanut butter is chunky, you

may have to add more water. You want a thick sauce, but thinner than

sticky peanut butter. Mix the sauce in rinsed cooked noodles and add

some veggies. In Chinese restaurants, you usually find some scallions

and maybe some bean sprouts added. Other good additions are shredded

carrot, finely cut up broccoli.
