Love peanut noodles but not in the mood to boil up a big pot of rice- or wheat-based noodles? Use a peeler to create ribbons from raw veggies. “Noodles” of carrot and cucumber soak up a saucy blend of powdered peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili-garlic sauce, and more. Sliced scallions add bite, and crushed red pepper brings heat. Toss in cooked shrimp and—ta-da—main dish!
