This recipe shamelessly stolen from: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/9558-takeout-style-sesame-noodles
|
|
## Ingredients
|
|
* 1 lb noodles
|
|
* 2 tbsp sesame oil
|
|
* 3 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
|
|
* 2 tbsp rice vinegar
|
|
* 2 tbsp sesame paste (not tahini) (not necessary)
|
|
* 1 tbsp peanut butter (smooth)
|
|
* 1 tbsp sugar
|
|
* 1 tbsp ginger (finely grated)
|
|
* 2 tsp garlic (minced)
|
|
* 2 teaspoons chili-garlic paste (?)
|
|
|
|
## Steps
|
|
1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes; they should retain a hint of chewiness. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with a splash of sesame oil.
|
|
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter, sugar, ginger, garlic and chili-garlic paste.
|
|
3. Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with cucumber and peanuts.

## Notes
|
|
|
|
Can take sesame paste, and instead use sesame oil + pb
|
|
|
|
Cayenne pepper subs out the chili-garlic paste
|
|
|
|
Chinese sesame paste can be hard to find. At my local (well stocked) Asian market I found Lan Chi brand labelled as "Chinese Salad Dressing".

Consider cutting sugar a bit, doesn't need to be as sweet as it is
