Instructions

Cook the rice noodles according to package directions. It’s best to slightly undercook the noodles, as they’ll continue to cook in the pot with the sauce.
Next, prepare the sauce by mixing all the sauce ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. (*see note)
Heat the avocado oil in a large non-stick skillet on medium-high heat and add the green onions and garlic letting cook for 2 minutes
Add the rice noodles and peanut sauce to the pan and mix everything together. If the noodles are getting sticky, add 2-4 tbsp of water to help everything mix together more easily.
Serve immediately. You can optionally top it off with green onions and sesame seeds.

Notes

Thin the sauce with a few tablespoons of water if it feels too thick.
Taste and adjust the sauce based on how much noodle you use.
Cook noodles just until tender to avoid a mushy texture.
Add vegetables like bok choy, snow peas, or broccoli if you want to bulk it up.
