- ¼ chopped lightly salted peanuts, chopped
- 2 green onions, sliced

Notes
Make-ahead tip: If you want to prep this ahead, do all of the steps except wait to combine everything. So store the noodles, sauce, and vegetables separately in the fridge and then combine them before serving. If you combine them before storing, the pasta will soak up the sauce.
