Ingredients:

1/3  cup chunky peanut butter

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

One 8 ounce package uncooked Chinese noodles or angel hair pasta

¾ cup water or vegetable broth

2 medium carrots cut into match sticks

2 to 3 cloves of garlic minced

1 ¼ cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 cup snow pea pods, cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces

½ cup sliced scallions

¼ to ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Procedure:

In a 1-cup measure or small bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce and brown sugar; set aside.

Prepare the noodles according to package directions.  Drain and rinse with hot water.

Meanwhile, in a medium nonstick skillet, heat water or broth over medium-high heat.  Add carrots and garlic; cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.  Add mushrooms, pea pods, scallions, and red pepper flakes.  Sauté until tender-crisp, about 2 minutes.

Stir in peanut sauce.  Cook until smooth and bubbly, about 2 minutes.  Pour over hot noodles.
