Spicy Peanut Noodles

Ingredients

• 8 oz rice noodles
• ¼ cup peanut butter
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce
• 1 whole lime
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• 4 oz mushrooms
• ¼ cup cilantro

Instructions

1. 1

   Cook the 8 oz rice noodles according to package directions until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp chili garlic sauce, juice of 1 lime, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth. Add 2-3 tbsp warm water if needed to loosen.

3. 3

   Slice the 4 oz mushrooms and cook in a hot skillet with a little oil until browned and softened, about 5 minutes. If using meat or tofu, add it now and cook until done.

4. 4

   Add the cooked noodles and the peanut sauce to the skillet. Toss over medium heat until everything is coated and heated through, about 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Serve topped with the 1/4 cup chopped cilantro and extra lime wedges if desired.

6. 6

   For extra crunch, sprinkle with crushed peanuts or sesame seeds before serving.
