Warm Peanut Noodle Bowls
Warm noodles and fine vegetable shreds carry a peanut-lime sauce in these simple bowls. The cabbage and carrot join the noodle water briefly rather than being fried in another pan. Shred them finely so that short cooking time makes sense. If the dressing thickens after tossing, a little warm water helps distribute it without adding more peanut butter.
