In a large stock pot, cook the linguine noodles according to package instructions (about 10 minutes). Drain and set aside. You will reuse this pot for the next steps.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the sauce in a medium bowl. Combine 0.67 cup soy sauce, chili sauce, creamy peanut butter, honey, and crushed red pepper flakes. Mix until smooth and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 0.33 cup soy sauce with the cornstarch until completely dissolved. Set aside to use later.
Return the stock pot to medium-high heat. Add sesame oil, garlic, ginger, scallions, shredded carrots, and chopped mushrooms. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
Add the drained pasta and pour in the sauce. Toss well to coat the noodles evenly.
Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken and coat the noodles. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
Remove from heat. Transfer to a large serving dish and garnish with chopped cilantro and dry roasted peanuts. Serve warm.
Notes
For extra zest, add a squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving. You can switch out the linguine for rice noodles for a more traditional Thai flavor. Leftovers store well in the fridge for up to 3 days.
