Notes

- I've served this delicious peanut butter sauce with whole wheat noodles and, most recently, "squiggly knife cut wheat noodles" from Trader Joe's and absolutely love both! I have no doubt this peanut sauce will taste just as good with ramen noodles or udon noodles. Just be sure to follow the package instructions and not overcook the noodles.

- Use warm or hot broth to help smooth out the sauce and make it easier to stir, especially after it's been refrigerated.

- There is no need to add olive oil or toasted sesame oil unless you really want to.

- Feel free to add sambal or a pinch of red pepper flakes to make this a spicey peanut butter sauce. Adding spice will help balance out the tangy flavor from rice vinegar.

- For more of a Pad Thai flavor, use rice noodles, thin out the peanut butter sauce a little more, then add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the noodles mixed with peanut butter sauce. Top with bean sprouts, sliced green onions, and lime wedges.
