Instructions

Put the peanuts in a large, deep-ish skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 2 tablespoons of honey and allow the nuts to toast in the mixture, stirring occasionally. The soy/honey will thicken into a sticky (teriyaki-ish) sauce, coating the nuts; takes about 5 to 6 minutes. When it looks thick and the nuts appear golden, transfer to a bowl to cool (will continue to firm up, but will still have visible glossy/sauciness). Set aside for now.
Prepare the noodles according to the package instructions (discard the flavor packets if using ramen), and reserve 1 cup of the cooking water just before draining.
To make the sauce, in a bowl/measuring cup combine ⅓ cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons honey, the garlic powder, peanut butter, sesame oil, and chili garlic sauce. Stir.
Rinse the pan, dry it, and put it back on the stove over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons cooking oil, and when it’s hot, add the bell peppers, scallion whites, and snap peas. Season lightly with S&P if desired and cook until tender; about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds. Add the cooked noodles, along with the sauce and ½ cup of the reserved cooking liquid (you can add more as needed). TOSS! Taste and adjust as you like.
Serve in bowls with some toasted peanuts on top, and some sesame seeds (if desired) and fresh cilantro and/or basil. I serve with extra soy sauce on the side for seasoning.
