These peanut noodles combine a glossy, savory-sweet peanut sauce with shredded carrots, bell peppers, and crunchy snap peas for contrast in every bite. Ready in under 30 minutes, they work equally well as a quick weeknight dinner or a chilled make-ahead lunch. A sprinkle of scallions and crushed peanuts adds a final layer of texture.
