INSTRUCTIONS

1. Cook the Noodles. Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Peanut Dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together Biobali Peanut Butter Smooth, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, maple syrup, garlic, grated ginger, and 2–3 tablespoons of warm water until smooth and creamy.

3. Prepare the Vegetables. Thinly slice the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, and green onions. Roughly chop the cilantro.

4. Toss Everything Together. Place the cooled noodles into a large mixing bowl. Add all the vegetables and pour the peanut dressing over the top.

5. Mix Until Well Coated. Using tongs, gently toss everything until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy peanut dressing.

6. Add the Finishing Touches. Fold in the fresh cilantro and sprinkle with chopped roasted peanuts. Add sliced Biobali Jalapeno if you prefer a spicy kick.

7. Serve. Transfer to serving bowls and garnish with sesame seeds, fresh basil, extra lime wedges, and additional chopped peanuts. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
