Notes

The sauce can get too salty very easily, try using unsalted peanut butter and low sodium soy sauce.
Peanut noodles can be eaten hot or cold.
Add in some freshly chopped veggies for a cold noodle salad, or serve alongside some steamed broccoli and grilled chicken for an easy weeknight meal.
This recipe will store in the fridge for 3 days. The sauce tends to dry up as it sits, so if you want to get it saucy again, add the noodles to a pan with a splash of water, broth, or soy sauce and heat until warm and creamy.
