While the noodles are cooking, make the peanut sauce. Mix together the peanut butter, soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar, and sugar until well combined. *The sauce is just thin enough to coat the noodles, but if you prefer your sauce on the looser side, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of cooking water from the noodles to thin the sauce.*

When the noodles are done cooking, add it to the prepared sauce and mix well.
