Instructions
Cook the noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey or maple syrup, sriracha, and water until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more water if needed.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add a drizzle of sesame oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the julienned carrot and red bell pepper to the skillet. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked noodles to the skillet. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and toss everything together until evenly coated.
Remove from heat and stir in the green onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped peanuts and lime wedges on the side. Optionally, sprinkle more cilantro or chili flakes on top for extra flavor.
