2. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Whisk in the warm water until the sauce is smooth.
3. Make the cucumber noodles. Adjust the julienne blade on a mandoline to the ⅛-inch-thick setting. Carefully run a cucumber down the blade, slicing the cucumber to form noodles. Continue with the other cucumber.
4. If you don't have a mandoline, you can use a julienne peeler to make the noodles or a spiralizer.
5. Place the cucumber noodles on a plate or in a bowl. Drizzle with the peanut sauce and toss gently. Top with the cilantro and peanuts. Serve and enjoy!
