Ingredients:

1/3 cup peanut butter

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

4 Tablespoons Soy Sauce

1 teaspoon fresh ginger

1 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds

3 Tablespoons Sugar

2 teaspoon rice vinegar

1 clove minced garlic

2 teaspoons red pepper flakes

1 cucumber cut julienne

4 carrots cut julienne

1/2 cup dry roasted unsalted peanuts

Fresh Cilantro

Fresh Mixed Greens

1 package rice noodles prepared to brands instructions

Sauteed Chicken Breast (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare rice noodles and set aside

In a frying pan heat vegetable oil, and add minced garlic. Cook until tender and translucent but not browned. Reduce heat to low and add in soy sauce, ginger, sugar, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes, stir to combine.

Once combined add in peanut butter, the peanut butter will “melt” in the sauce and thicken the mixture. Add in sesame seeds and unsalted roasted peanuts at the end.

Add the cooked rice noodles to the pan and toss to fully coat, in sauce.

Serve noodles and sauce mixture over Fresh mixed greens and topped with the cucumbers and carrots julienne with the fresh, cleaned and patted dried, cilantro sprigs.
