  3. Stir-fry Veggies: Heat a large pan or wok over medium-high heat, add oil, then cook the bell peppers and carrots for 3-5 minutes. Add green onions and cook for another minute.
  4. Combine: In the same pan, add cooked noodles and peanut sauce, tossing everything together for 2-3 minutes until noodles are coated.
  5. Garnish/Serve: Serve immediately, topped with cilantro and peanuts. Optional: drizzle with sesame oil and additional green onions.
