Here is a recipe for a pretty easy pantry peanut sauce. I've tried a few others and this is the one I keep coming back to. It's adapted from Bon Appetit magazine.
Sesame oil
1 bunch of green onions, chopped
A few cloves of garlic, minced
1 T. ginger, minced
1/4 c. honey
1/4 c. peanut butter
1/4 c. low sodium soy sauce
3 T. unseasoned rice vinegar
1-1/2 T. chili-garlic sauce
Heat 1 T. sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add green onions, garlic and ginger; saute until onions soften, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and whisk to blend. Simmer sauce 1 minute. Cool to room temperature.
I cook up 8 oz. of chinese noodles according to the package directions (sold in the produce section by the tofu at my supermarket). Drain the noodles and drizzle with a little sesame oil. Add chopped vegetables of choice (I do matchstick-cut carrots and diced cucumber; sometimes I add bean sprouts and/or diced red pepper). I often have tofu that has been marinated in Trader Joe's 'soyaki' and sauteed in sesame oil in the refrigerator for the kids, so if I have extra tofu I add that to the noodle salad as well. Toss with the peanut sauce and garnish with chopped green onion and finely chopped peanuts. YUM!
