Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
While the noodles are cooking, prepare the sauce. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sriracha, and minced garlic.
Gradually whisk in the hot water, a tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked noodles, julienned carrot, and cucumber.
Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything together until well-coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped peanuts.
Notes
Adjust the spice level by adding more or less sriracha. For a non-spicy version for kids, omit it entirely and serve it on the side for adults.
For extra protein, add shredded cooked chicken, grilled shrimp, or pan-fried tofu.
Feel free to use any long noodle you have on hand, such as spaghetti, linguine, soba, or ramen noodles.
