Instructions
- If you are cooking your own noodles/spaghetti, boil according to the instructions. Dump them into ice water after to cool them without over cooking. I buy my noodles pre-cooked at Walmart from this company.
- Blend together all the peanut sauce ingredients except water to create a smooth sauce. Add in water as needed to make it blend well.
- To a bowl, add the spinach, cabbage, and zucchini.
- Make sure you noodles are room temperature or cold. Add the noodles to the veggies, and mix well to combine. Then pour the peanut sauce all over it and toss until coated.
