3. Cover with boiling water, and let sit five minutes, until the dried vegetables are tender (or, substitute fresh veggies in frontcountry).
4. Add the sauce ingredients, plus coconut milk (mixed up from a powder if backpacking) and stir well.
5. Meanwhile cook noodles in the first pot (about five minutes on medium boil).
6. Drain, add sauce, and cook over medium flame until sauce reaches a boil.
7. Add water, as needed, for the sauce to coat the noodles.
8. Top with nuts.
