In her previous post, Pooja Malhotra shared the Konjac noodles recipe. First, heat some oil in a pan and saute some minced garlic, onions, bell peppers and add some salt. In the meantime, prepare a slurry using vinegar, soy sauce, chilli sauce, peanut butter, a dash of honey and some sesame seeds. Pour the slurry over the vegetables, add some water and let it simmer and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. 

Finally, plate your Konjac noodles and the vegetables in peanut butter sauce. Add some boiled eggs, grilled chicken, tofu or edamame as a side. Finish it off with some roasted peanuts, green onions and a squeeze of lemon juice."
