Method
Spicy Peanut Sauce: Puree sauce ingredients in a food processor or blender. Add the peanuts last so you can control how chunky it is (I like to leave it a little more on the chunky side).
Chicken or prawns: Cook the meat in a skillet over medium high heat. Season with salt and pepper. Shred the chicken once cooked through and cool enough to handle.
Vegetables: Chop the red pepper, cabbage, and cilantro to your desired size for the salad.
Noodles: Cook the noodles according to package directions (usually just boiling for a few minutes).
Assemble: Toss everything together with enough dressing to generously coat everything. Serve hot or cold.
