That is a great dish and maybe what you need. My only thought is don't use rice noodles. They have a good failure rate and are a bit specialized without practice and your guy sounds really picky. I would use Soba Noodles if could find them or even a good quality angel hair/vermicelli. DON'T use sweetened peanut butter whatever you do. If you find yourself unable to resist PB, use a natural unsweetened variety.
