Peanut noodles

I ordered spicy peanut noodles at a chinese take out place once and fell in love with them. The place I ordered from didn't add any vegetables or anything, which for me made the dish sort of dull so I tried making my own and realized that they are incredibly easy. They are equally good hot or cold as well, so leftovers are not a bad thing. You could really add whatever veggies you'd like to these, but if you add broccoli or something you may want to boil it with the noodles while they cook.

Ingredients:

2 servings of soba noodles (or spaghetti if you want)
1 large carrot, julienned
3 inches (or so) of cucumber, julienned
6-8 strips of green pepper, cut in thirds
1 large handfull of cilantro
2 tablespoons peanut butter
1/2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon (plus a little more) of rice vinegar
1/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 good squirt of sriracha sauce (as spicy as you'd like it)
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Directions:

Boil noodles according to package directions, drain and set aside. In a medium sauce pan melt peanut butter over low heat. Add soy sauce and stir. Slowly add water, whisking the entire time to thin out the peanut butter. Once the water is incorporated and things start to thicken, add the vinegar, garlic powder, sriracha, and sesame oil and stir to combine. Turn the heat off and add the noodles and veggies to the pot and mix to coat everything in the sauce. Toss cilantro in right before serving.
