Make the Spicy Peanut Sauce
Combine all sauce ingredients in a measuring jug or small bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, blend all ingredients in a blender for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Sauté the Veggies
Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced red bell pepper and carrot. Sauté for about 2 minutes, or until slightly softened.
Combine and Serve
Add the cooked noodles to the skillet with the veggies.
Pour in ½ to ¾ of the prepared sauce, and toss to coat the noodles evenly.
Serve the noodles in bowls, topped with chopped peanuts, sliced green onions, and cilantro.
Drizzle the remaining sauce over the top, if desired.
