3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons mirin or rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons Toasted Sesame Ginger
3 tablespoons peanut butter
1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, 2 tablespoons water and Toasted Sesame Ginger. Cook for 3 minutes or until sauce is slightly reduced.
4. Whisk the peanut butter into the sauce until smooth. Add in the pasta and vegetables, tossing to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Remove the skillet from heat. Serve warm with peanuts and scallions.
