Sweet and Spicy Peanut Noodles (For Two) image

Feel free to add to this versatile noodle dish to make a meal. Sugar snap peas are delicious here! Add rotisserie chicken and vegetables if desired. It does taste best at room temperature. And you can adjust the amount of heat by using less or more sambal.
