When i had tried this noodles first time, the base sauce used in this recipe had slightly remembered the peanut sauce served in Thai restaurant . If you're familiar with those flavor and like it, then you're gonna love this noodle recipe. I have a love-hate relationship with Thai cuisine. Love all the coconut flavors in their cooking but the fish sauce in every thing and very strong umami flavor is very offsetting for me.

Notes:

Don't over the veggies, it should be soft and retain its shape.
We like our noodles as little spicy, but if you can't tolerate more heat reduce the amount of siracha sauce or use any hot sauce that you like
Hot water helps to loosen the peanut butter.
Depends on your liking you can always add more or less of any ingredients for the sauce.
Adding ginger gives great flavor to the noodles, so highly recommend not to reduce the quantity.
Instead of veggies, you can add chicken or any other protein you like or even without any veggies also,you can make this, it would be awesome.

Home made Peanut Butter Cup | Candy Recipe

Peanut Butter Cup, a delicious snack/treat made from just 3 ingredients such as peanut butter,chocolate & coconut oil. The recipe is so simple, completely vegan and you can make them in minutes.

To be honest, i don't like chocolate as it is, yeah, i know, certain things you can't say it in public and i guess this is one among them :-) But what to do, truth to be told,right?? But i like light coating of chocolate on bakery items or on waffers like munch and this peanut butter cups.

The big advantage of making peanut butter cup at home is that you can adjust the proportion of peanut butter and chocolate as per your liking.

Here in the recipe i have used less chocolate just enough to coat the peanut butter, but you can easily double up the chocolate in the recipe. This recipe is been in my drafts for around 10 months, somehow i feel that writing the new recipe is much easier than editing the existing drafts. But today i was determined to edit this post and share. Phew, successfully i did :-)
