Give me some rice noodles and veggies slathered in spicy peanut sauce and I am a happy girl.

But many peanut sauces are WAY too spicy for my little one.

I’ve been working on a version that is kid-friendly while still full of flavor and goodness.Here are the results with some pictures -your whole family will enjoy this healthy dish!

I made the peanut sauce with an immersion blender. You just throw all of the ingredients in a glass jar, buzz for a few seconds, and it's ready to go.

I used a spiralizer to get the veggies prepped, but you can just finely cut them up as well.You can use any veggies you have on hand, making it a nice way to use up some odds and ends. You can use:zucchinisummer squashcarrotspeppersmushroomspeasgreen beansYou get the idea - anything goes.

Here are the finished noodles covered with toppings. I serve the noodles plain to my little girl but load them up with toppings for my husband and myself.
