In a small bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the peanut sauce until smooth. It takes a bit of stirring to break down the peanut butter. Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the cooking oil. Add the carrot noodles to the pan and lightly saute until they just begin to soften, about 1-2 minutes. Pour the peanut sauce into the pan, and continue to saute until all the noodles are coated.
