Peanut Sauce

Based on this recipe.

The trick to this is to avoid heating the peanut butter too much so that it doesn’t separate. Mix in a bowl, adding the water to the peanut butter a little at a time, so that it forms a smooth sauce instead of being peanut butter lumps in water. After cooking noodles, drain them and dump them into the bowl.
