Spicy Thai Noodles - Second Helpings

Ingredients

• Asian noodles of any kind (I like the Lo Mein or rice noodles. Angel Hair or spaghetti would work too if that is what you have on hand.)
• ½ cup oil (Sesame oil works best but grapeseed or olive oil is fine.)
• 2 bell peppers, any color, sliced into thin bite-sized pieces
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin bite-size pieces
• 4-6 cloves of garlic, minced
• Protein of your choosing (You can omit if you want to make this a veggie dish. I like to use thinly sliced pork chops or chicken, shrimp and beef are good, too.)
• Flour for dredging
• ½ cup peanuts, chopped
• ½ cup green onions, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste
• SPICY SAUCE
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil – grapeseed would work but it's not as flavorful
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons gochujang (You can use sriracha sauce or a chili paste if you have that handy.)
