Chinese Vegetables In Peanut Sauce

Description

Vegetarian, low-carb, or even add chicken. This is a great, versatile recipe. I replaced the mushrooms with zucchini. Add cilantro to give it a kick. Low-carb: replace chinese noodles with dream fields pasta or no pasta at all. From vegetarian times: low fat & fast.
