Instructions

Add chopped garlic and optional chili flakes and cook another minute or so. Add coconut milk, broth, peanut butter, lime juice, coconut sugar, and coconut aminos or tamari.

Notes
This recipe makes plenty of sauce for extra noodles, vegetables, or protein like chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
These noodles are best enjoyed fresh, but can also be stored and reheated later.
Storing: To store leftover noodles in the refrigerator, allow them to cool and then transfer to an air tight container. Will keep for up to 2-3 days.
Reheating: They can easily be re-heated in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.
Freezing: I do not recommend freezing these noodles, however the sauce could be made in advance and frozen until ready to thaw and use.
