More helpful tip for you.

1. When you add your noodles to the pot, make sure that they are covered by the broth. You can use a wooden spoon to push them down if needed but, try not to stir them.
2. For the sauce, using a fresh with few added ingredients in it is important for a smooth sauce. While you can use a crunchy or smooth peanut butter, you may want to stir it first.
3. I would not use organic peanut butter as it can have a layer of oil on top which can affect your sauce.
4. For an added kick, you can add a bit of sriracha or a chopped jalapeno.
5. Stirring in additional vegetables, such as broccoli or peas, can make this dish even more filling and flavorful.
6. For a protein addition, stir in sliced cooked chicken, shrimp,or tofu before serving.
7. Not a fan of spicy? Swap out the chili sauce with ketchup.
