Instructions
In a large pot of boiling water, cook the rice noodles according to package instructions, usually about 4-6 minutes, until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add warm water to the sauce, stirring until you reach your desired consistency.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked noodles with the peanut sauce until evenly coated.
If you prefer warm noodles, transfer the coated noodles to a skillet over medium heat and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until heated through.
Transfer the Peanut Butter Noodles to serving bowls. Top with chopped scallions, crushed peanuts, fresh cilantro, and sliced red chili if desired.
