Shiritaki Noodles with Veggies and Peanut Sauce

(Makes 2 servings, recipe created by Kalyn)

8 oz. package Shiritaki Noodles (I used House Foods Brand)
1/2 red pepper, seeds cut out and cut in slivers
1 cup snow peas, cut in diagonal slices

sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (check the label to make sure it does not contain added sugar)
1 1/2 tsp. dark sesame oil
1 tsp. Asian Chile Garlic Sauce(or use a small amount of your favorite hot sauce)
2 T coarsely chopped peanuts
chopped fresh cilantro (optional, I did not have any but I would add it next time)

Drain noodles and rinse. Put noodles on cutting board and cut through several times to make them 3-4 inches long. Bring pan of water to a boil. When it boils, add noodles and cook 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain noodles, rinse with cold water, and let them drain in colander while you cut up red pepper and snow peas and chop peanuts.

Put peanut butter in glass measuring cup and heat in microwave about 2 minutes, or until very soft. Add soy sauce, sesame oil, and Chile Garlic Sauce and whisk together until well combined.

In mixing bowl combine noodles, veggies and sauce. Divide between two serving plates and sprinkle with peanuts and chopped cilantro if using. Serve at room temperature.
