Notes
- Use warm or hot cooked noodle water in the sauce: When making the peanut butter sauce, use some warm or hot cooked noodle water to help thin out the sauce and create a creamier texture. This will also help the sauce better coat the noodles.
- Taste and adjust the flavor: After making the peanut butter sauce taste the sauce and adjust the flavor as needed. Add more salt, soy sauce, garlic powder, lemon juice, honey, or sriracha to achieve your desired flavor balance.
