- 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Yondu Vegetable Umami

Method
- Tip
1. Cook noodles according to package instructions. Reserve ½ cup pasta water before draining.
2. While noodles cook, add peanut butter to a large bowl. Add liquid ingredients one at a time - Yondu, Yondu Spicy, rice vinegar, water, and sesame oil - whisking after each addition until smooth.
3. Toss hot drained noodles with peanut sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time to reach desired creaminess.
4. Serve immediately topped with scallions, cilantro, and chili flakes.
Build the sauce gradually for silky smoothness - add liquids one at a time to prevent lumps. Swap noodles for rice or zucchini noodles. Control spice level perfectly by adjusting Yondu Spicy to taste.
