Tips for the peanut butter noodles recipe
- How much you need will depend on the brand of peanut butter you used as well as your personal preference.
- We don’t recommend adding all of the sauce at once because it may be too much depending on your preference, so start with 1/2 and add more depending on your needs.
How to keep the peanut butter noodles leftovers?
You can keep any leftover peanut butter noodles in an airtight container for 2 days in your refrigerator. Reheat in a saucepan to the microwave with a few drops of water to loosen the sauce.
