So when you are almost done with your peanut butter, but you still have some sticking to the container and you can't scrape it out with a knife, this is what you do

1)     Cook some spaghetti noodles.

2)     Pour some Yoshida Teriyaki sauce into the peanut butter jar.

3)     When the spaghetti noodles are done, add then to the peanut butter jar.

4)     Put the lid on and shake (to stir).

5)     Pour it out on a plate and add pineapples if you wish...

  It is kind of like noodles with like a Thai peanut sauce, but much quicker to prepare
