Directions

Prepare Noodles

Prepare rice noodles (or pasta noodles) according to package directions. It is very important to follow the package directions as some brands work best soaking noodles in boiling water for a couple minutes and others need to be simmered in boiling water.

Prepare Dressing

While pasta is cooking, mix together 1/2 tablespoon canola oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot sauce, lime juice peanut butter, honey, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Whisk vigorously until smooth.

Toast peanuts and sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly toasted. This is CRUCIAL for developing the most flavor out of the nuts and sesame seeds and makes a world of difference. If your peanuts/sesame seeds say dry-roasted or toasted, skip this step!

Drain the noodles and rinse well. Place noodles in large mixing bowl and immediately toss the noodles with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon canola oil to coat. This keeps the noodles from sticking together!

Combine

Add the peanut sauce, peppers, green onions, carrots, sugar snap peas, cabbage, cilantro to the noodles, and toss well. Top with the chopped nuts and sesame seeds.

Serve immediately for best results.
