For the Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

For Garnish:

  • Prepare the Veggies:
    Thinly slice the bell peppers, purple cabbage, and carrots. Set them aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • Combine:
    Toss the cooked noodles with the peanut sauce until evenly coated.
    Add the sliced veggies and toss everything together until well mixed.
  • Serve:
    Divide into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro, lime wedges, and crushed peanuts, if desired.

Notes

  • Vegan Option: Use maple syrup in the peanut sauce instead of honey for a vegan-friendly version.
  • Make it Spicy: Adjust the amount of sriracha or chili paste in the sauce to make it as spicy as you like.
