    Use kitchen sheers or a knife to snip the noodles a handful of times.
    Add the sliced vegetables, parsley, basil, mint, cucumbers, and romaine to the bowl with noodles.
  • Add the peanut dressing and toss to coat the noodles and vegetables. Top with Tofu, shrimp or chicken. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped peanuts.

Peanut Dressing
