Notes

Feel free to customize the veggies based on what you have on hand or your preferences. This dish can be made ahead of time; just store the sauce separately to maintain its consistency. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of water or lime juice if needed. Toasting the peanuts and sesame seeds before garnishing enhances their flavor and adds great aroma.
