Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons peanut butter chunky or smooth

  4. Add protein and stir fry on medium-high until slightly browned.

  5. Add vegetables and scallion and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until slightly tender.

  6. Add sauce to pan, tossing everything to coat.

  7. Add noodles to pan, again tossing everything to coat.

  8. Garnish with sesame seeds and extra scallions.

  9. Enjoy!
