Ingredients
  

8 oz rice noodles (or your choice of noodles)

2 tablespoons peanut oil (or vegetable oil)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1 bell pepper, sliced (any color)

1 cup broccoli florets

1 cup snap peas

1 medium carrot, julienned

1 cup baby spinach

3 green onions, chopped

1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Peanut Sauce:

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (for a vegan option)

1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for spice)

1 tablespoon water (to thin the sauce)

Instructions
 

Cook the Noodles: Begin by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing them with a drizzle of sesame oil to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sriracha (if using), and water until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.

      Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat peanut oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Add the Veggies: Toss in bell pepper, broccoli, snap peas, and carrot. Stir-fry for about 5-7 minutes, or until veggies are tender-crisp.

          Combine Noodles and Sauce: Add the cooked noodles and peanut sauce to the skillet. Toss everything together for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring that the noodles are fully coated with the sauce and heated through.

            Finish with Greens: Stir in baby spinach and chopped green onions, cooking just until the spinach wilts.

              Serve and Garnish: Plate the stir fry and garnish with chopped roasted peanuts and a sprinkle of sesame seeds for an extra crunch.
