Peanut Noodles

My sister sent me this recipe & it's very, very good.

Ingredients:
Sauce
4 cloves garlic
Juice 1/2 lime
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 Tbsps vegetable oil
4 tsps minced ginger
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tbsp onion powder
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Place garlic in blender/food processor, blend until finely chopped
Pour lime juice into blender
Stop the blender & add remaining ingredients along with 1/2 cup water
Pulse on high just until ingredients are combined
Scape down the sides of the blender & pulse 3-4 more times

Noodles
12 oz Asian pasta - refrigerated noodles (I used Yakisoba noodles)
1 lb chicken breasts, chopped into bite size pieces
2 cups broccoli/snow peas/carrots (I used carrots & snow peas)
1/4 cup chopped peanuts

Cook pasta & drain
Cook chicken over medium-high heat until browned, then add vegetables
Cook until chicken is no longer pink
Add peanut sauce to skillet & reduce heat to low
Return drained pasta to skillet & toss until well mixed
Sprinkle chopped peanuts over noodles & serve
