In a mixing bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, reduced-sodium soy sauce (or tamari), rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, chili garlic sauce, and sriracha.

Pour the prepared peanut sauce over the cooked noodles and vegetables.
10
Use tongs to toss everything together until the noodles are evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
11
Top the dish with fresh chopped cilantro, sliced green onions, and toasted sesame seeds before serving.
