I love cold sesame noodles from the Chinese restaurant. Try this as a main dish or serve with teriyaki marinated chicken skewers for the meat eaters. Ingredients:
3/4 lb udon noodles |
1/4 cup chopped peanuts |
1 bunch chopped scallion |
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced |
1 cup blanched snow peas |
1 cup grated carrot |
1/2 cup peanut butter |
1/2 cup tahini |
2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce |
2 tablespoons chinese-style dark sesame oil |
1 tablespoon hot chili oil (or substitute with 1/2 tsp cayenne) |
2 tablespoons rice vinegar |
1 inch piece ginger, grated |
1/2 cup water |
toasted black & sesame seeds |
cilantro (to garnish) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook noodles according to package directions and cool.
2. Meanwhile, combine peanut butter, tahini, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili oil, vinegar, water and ginger in a small saucepan.
3. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes to marry flavors, then remove from heat and cool.
4. Combine noodles, sauce, peanuts, snow peas, cucumber, scallions and carrots.
5. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds.
