Sometimes, we find it hard to make a quick meal that includes all the veggies we need to keep healthy and give us energy. That’s one reason we love this recipe, spicy peanut noodles. It takes less than 20 minutes to prepare and offers tons of flavors from the spices and vegetables. Plus, making this dish with spaghetti noodles lets us use items we already have in the pantry. Depending on our mood, we adjust the amount of Sriracha to control the spiciness, so you can go as wild as you want with it, or skip it completely – it’s up to you!
