What To Do:

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil until hot and cook sweet potato noodles, broccoli, salt and pepper for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Add water and continue to cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk peanut butter, chicken broth, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger and red pepper.
