Instructions

1. Grab your dry pasta and cook according to instructions on the packaging. Once al dente, drain water and then toss with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
2. While your pasta is cooking, grab a small bowl and add the peanut butter, soy sauce, water, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, the other teaspoon of sesame oil, freshly grated ginger and garlic. Use a fork or small whisk to mix everything together until smooth.
3. Add your sauce into the bottom of a large bowl. Add about ½ a pound of your salad mix (if using) and then your noodles. Toss until everything is well combined and then either serve immediately or store in an air tight container for 7 days and serve as part of a balanced lunch or dinner for meal prep.

Hint: I would recommend skipping the salad mix if you are meal prepping this meal as it can get soggy.

Substitutions
