These noodles are ready in less time than it takes to order takeout! Next time your unsure of what to make for dinner or you have limited time, give these peanut noodles a try. These noodles taste so good and also jam packed with protein and fresh veggies.
I swear these noodles take no time, I made these noodles before a episode of friends even ended! Now you know how fast that it. This is a great back up meal as well, if you dont have fresh veggies, use frozen, and use the peanut sauce for other meals thru out the week for a quick lunch or dinner. Check out helpful suggestions (below) for other meals with the peanut sauce.

Notes
- If you’re straying away from gluten, use glass/cellophane noodles, they are fat-free, gluten-free, and are delicious.
- You can use the peanut sauce over a quinoa Thai salad and ditch the carbs. Mix this sauce with 1 cup cooked quinoa and 1 cup coleslaw mixture.
- I have made this sauce and stored in a air tight mason jar for other recipes such as Thai chicken lettuce wraps.
- For any of my meat and sea food lovers out there you can add chicken or shrimp to this dish!
- Feel free to use any veggies of choice or what you have already on hand!
- These are the noodles I used.
