Ingredients

1/2 pound spaghetti
1/4 cup Tamari dark soy, eyeball it
1/4 rounded cup smooth peanut butter, softened in microwave 15 seconds on high
2 tablespoons cider or rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon dark sesame oil, eyeball it
2 tablespoons hot sauce
2 cups shredded cabbage and carrot mix, available in produce department
1 cup bean sprouts or pea shoots, any variety, available in produce department
3 scallions, chopped on an angle
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Directions

Cook pasta to al dente, with a bite to it, then cold shock it to stop the cooking process by running it under cold water in colander. Drain the pasta very well.

In the bottom of a large bowl, whisk together soy, peanut butter, vinegar, oil, sesame oil, and hot sauce. Add noodles and veggies and toss to combine the noodles and coat them evenly with sauce. Sprinkle scallions and sesame seeds throughout the salad and serve.

Not good
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

This recipe was very disappointing. I love sesame noodles, but the sauce this one makes does not taste good. I would not... recommend making it!Read more

Yumm-o! (with a few tweaks)
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a very easy yummy side dish to add to my grilled chicken dinner. I made a few tweaks to the recipe to make it more... to my liking. I added half of a red bell pepper to the mix along with the juice of one lime. I did not add the bean sprouts as that I could not find them at my grocery store. In the end, the bean sprouts were not missed. The red bell pepper added a bit of sweetness to the salad and the juice of the lime loosened up the peanut sauce a bit. This recipe will be one that I make again and again. Read more

I'd tweak it a bit.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I added some grated and ginger and a clove-worth of minced garlic. When I make it again, I will add a bit of the cooking... water from the noodles to make the sauce less thick and dry. (I will also remember to add the cabbage next time - oops!) Otherwise, it was easy and fast and my husband and I enjoyed it. Read more

Great flavor!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw Rachel make this one awhile ago and thought the dish looked disgusting. Recently I was searching for a recipe that... used some asian flavors and came upon this recipe and decided to give it a go. I served it with the lettuce chicken wraps from the same episode. It was an excellent compliment to the lettuce wraps. I think a great add in would be cooked chicken to make it a main dish. I'm sure we'll have having this one again soon!Read more

Is it me or the recipe?
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I wouldn't make this again. Something was just missing and I followed the recipe completly. The peanut butter is very... strong. There has to be a better way! Rach, work on this one!Read more
