Spicy Peanut Noodles!

So I'm not eating Paleo, or Gluten-free, or very cautiously at all. My 12 week old doesn't seem affected by my diet, and now that he's ex-utero, I don't suffer heartburn, so bring the heat!

Enter Spicy Peanut Noodles.
We've experimented quite a bit with the sauce, so yes, there are some special ingredients, but it's worth it.

Sauce:
2 Tbsp milk
1/4 cup hot water
1 cup peanut butter
1 1/2 Tbsp lime juice (I fudge this and use the juice of 1, the zest of 1. I also require a second lime for garnish and zest for steaming the veggies)
1 1/2 Tbsp chili sauce (Rooster or Sriracha)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sherry (or any other) wine
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1/8 cup fresh chopped cilantro
1 tsp ground cayenne
Dash white pepper salt

Combine all in saucepan and cook until combined and hot.

Cook a package of egg noodles according to directions. To make this Gluten-free, try a rice noodle instead.

Chop a red pepper or two, some broccoli and a little carrot. Add the zest of one lime and steam till just tender.

Toss noodles, veggies and sauce, serve garnished with a lime wedge, chopped cilantro and rooster sauce.
