Heat 2 tablespoons of neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped green onions and minced garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until tender and fragrant.

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add rice noodles and cook for 5–7 minutes until tender but slightly firm. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Whisk together peanut butter and soy sauce in a separate bowl. Lower skillet heat to medium-low, pour peanut butter mixture into the pan with noodles, and stir to coat.

If the sauce is too thick, add 1–2 tablespoons of water to achieve desired consistency. Cook for another 1–2 minutes until heated through.

Toss in proteins or vegetables as desired, and stir gently for 1 minute to meld the flavors.

Remove from heat, serve in bowls, and top with chopped peanuts and green onions.
