Instructions
Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

Add coconut milk, vegetable broth, peanut butter, coconut sugar, coconut aminos, and lime juice. Whisk until smooth.
Bring sauce to a gentle simmer and cook until slightly thickened.
Add cooked noodles to the skillet and toss until evenly coated and warmed through.
Remove from heat and garnish with cilantro, green onions, and peanuts or sesame seeds before serving.
Notes
Adjust spice level by adding more or less curry paste or chili flakes.
Thin the sauce with extra broth or coconut milk if needed.
Add veggies like bell peppers, spinach, or snap peas for extra texture.
