For a smoother sauce, microwave the peanut butter for 15 seconds before mixing. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness. Try adding a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice for extra tang. These noodles are also delicious with shredded carrots, cucumber, or bean sprouts mixed in.
