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 out the sauce as needed: if the sauce is too thick, add a couple tablespoons of water to thin it out.

Don’t overcook the noodles: Cook them until they’re slightly firm in the center. Noodles will continue to cook slightly in the sauce.

Add veggies: Try bok choy, snow peas, or broccoli
