Preparation

Step 1

Cook noodles according to package directions and set aside.
Mix milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, hosin, chili sauce and water in a small bowl until smooth and set aside.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add desired protein and cook until done.
Add bean sprouts and green onions and stir fry for an additional minute. Push all ingredients to the edge of the skillet or wok, creating a large space in the center. Scramble the eggs until done.
Reduce the heat to low and add the noodles and sauce mixture, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts right before serving and garnish with lime.
