Cook pasta and then run under cold water to help cool.
Prepare a pan to steam the broccoli. Once the water is boiling, add the separate steaming pot, with the broccoli, and steam for two minutes. You want the broccoli to be brightly colored, but still crisp.
In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, cooked broccoli, red pepper, carrots, and chicken.
Pour the sauce into the large bowl and mix with the salad.
Chill for at least an hour. Chilling it will help the sauce not seem so spicy. If you want more spice, add sriracha or add the sauce right before serving. Top with peanuts before serving.
