   * Cook the noodles or rice. Place the noodles or rice in the bowl with the veggies. Pour the peanut sauce over everything and stir until combined. Serve immediately. Garnish with chopped peanuts and cilantro, if desired (alternatively, simply mix in some chopped peanuts when you mix everything together, to add to the crunchy texture).
