Hot-Tossed Noodles with Peanut Sauce
This fast, easy noodle dish has an Asian flavor and is great for a last minute
vegetarian menu. I usually add the broccoli to make it both more nutritious and
more colorful. The noodles are the soft, fresh noodles available in the produce
section of most large grocery stores. I serve this dish with stir-fried carrots and
pea pods, followed by a fruit salad.
