about: Peanut butter
about: Noodles
about: Rice vinegar
mentions: Unsweetened peanut butter is best, but regular peanut butter works if you reduce added sugar.
mentions: Spaghetti or linguine can replace Chinese wheat noodles.
mentions: Use tahini if peanut butter is not suitable.
mentions: Use lime juice or white wine vinegar if rice vinegar is unavailable.
mentions: Peanut butter: Tahini, Chinese sesame paste, Sunflower seed butter. Tahini is less sweet and more bitter, so add a small pinch of sugar if needed.
mentions: Noodles: Spaghetti, Linguine, Ramen noodles. Rinse cooked noodles briefly so they do not overcook or clump.
mentions: Rice vinegar: Lime juice, White wine vinegar, Apple cider vinegar. Lime changes the flavor but works well for a brighter lunch bowl.
