Instructions
Cook the Noodles
Cook the rice noodles according to the package directions until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Toss with a tiny drizzle of oil to prevent sticking and set aside.
Make the Peanut Sauce
In a bowl whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, and 3 tablespoons of warm water until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Taste and add an extra teaspoon of honey if you want a slightly sweeter flavor for younger children.
Cook the Vegetables
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat with a small drizzle of oil. Add the shredded carrots and sliced bell pepper and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still slightly crisp.
Toss and Serve
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the vegetables and pour the peanut sauce over everything. Toss well using tongs until the noodles are evenly coated and heated through. Serve immediately in bowls.
