Remove the honey and noodles from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. If desired, remove the tough strings from the snow peas. Using your hands, carefully separate the noodles and evenly divide between the two trays. Add the spinach, snow peas, and sautéed aromatics; stir to combine. Add 2 tablespoons of water to each tray. Season with salt and pepper; stir to thoroughly combine.

Tightly cover the trays with foil and bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until the snow peas are tender when pierced with a fork and the spinach is wilted. Remove from the oven; carefully remove the foil. Meanwhile, to make the sauce, in a bowl, combine the tahini, soy sauce, peanut butter spread, sesame oil, vinegar, honey (kneading the packet before opening), 1/4 cup of water, and as much of the sambal oelek as you'd like, depending on how spicy you'd like the dish to be. Evenly divide the sauce between the two baked trays; stir until thoroughly combined. Serve the finished trays garnished with the sesame seeds, coconut chips, and peanuts. Enjoy!
