  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 sausages (pork, chicken, or plant-based), sliced
  • 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha or chili garlic sauce (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
