Veggies and Rice Noodles Starring a Spicy Peanut Sauce
"The spicy peanut sauce makes a fantastic dip for anything, including sweet potato wedges if you leave it a little thicker (use less hot water).
You can also use the sauce just to top steamed veggies, or in a stir fry."

directions

For sauce:
- Blend all ingredients together in a food processor/blender.
- You are adding the hot water to thin it out as much as you would like.
- Adjust soy sauce and lime to taste. I actually use about 1/4 of a lime's worth of zest and juice.

For the rest:
- Boil 3 cups of water. Take pot off heat.
- Soak noodles in water for 5 mins, then rinse under cold water for 30 seconds.
- While noodles are cooking, steam your veggies, and drain your tofu.
- Heat a skillet on low to medium and add vegetable oil and scramble your tofu and heat until warmed through.
- Then add in veggies, noodles and sauce. Mix until sauce is warmed through.

This was pretty good, though I didn't think the sauce was all that spicy. I did leave the tofu out but made as written otherwise. -
I didn't make the recipe in its entirety, so I won't leave a rating, but I wanted to thank you for posting an excellent spicy peanut sauce! I made it to go with chicken wings, and everyone at the get-together raved about it. I also really appreciated that it uses ingredients that I had on-hand, since it was a last minute sauce we needed.
