Bring a large kettle of water to a boil. Place the rice noodles in a shallow pan then pour the boiling water over the noodles, completely covering them. Use tongs to move the noodles around a bit in the pan then place a lid over the noodles and allow them to soak for 20-25 minutes, occasionally using the tongs to stir the noodles. When the noodles are soft and the texture is to your liking, drain the water. Toss the noodles with the roasted peanut oil, set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, sesame oil, rice vinegar, Tamari, sesame seeds, honey, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes, and sriracha. Add the grated cucumber, half the scallion, and half the peanuts. Add the prepared rice pasta and toss to coat. Transfer to a serving bowl or platter and top with the cucumber slices, carrot, jalapeno, snow peas, cilantro, and remaining scallions and peanuts.
