Vegetarian Asian Noodles with Peanut Sauce
Vegetarian Asian Noodles with Peanut Sauce
This dish works well for pot-lucks, as it can be served warm or at room temperature. The heat level of chili-garlic sauces (available in the Asian section of larger supermarkets) varies widely; start with the least amount, and add more to taste. Udon noodles, made from wheat flour, are usually available in the Asian section of natural food stores or larger supermarkets. For a variation, use a packaged broccoli slaw mix instead of the carrots.
