Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound Chinese egg noodles
  • 3 tablespoons dark sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons peanut oil
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon red chili paste, such as sambal oelek
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 6 tablespoons hot water
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Cucumber slices, for garnish
  • Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Directions

Cook the noodles in large pot of boiling unsalted water over medium heat until barely tender and still firm. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water until cool. Drain the noodles really well and transfer to a wide bowl; toss with the sesame oil so they don't stick together.

In a small saucepan, heat the peanut oil over medium-low flame. Add the green onions, ginger, garlic, and chili paste. Cook and stir for a minute until soft and fragrant. Mix in the brown sugar, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, and hot water. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the peanut butter has smoothed out. Toss the noodles with the peanut sauce until well coated. Serve at room temperature or chilled. Garnish with the sesame seeds, cucumber slices, and cilantro.

    I made this for the first time today. I looked in my pantry and had to improvised a bit. I used whole grain pasta (gluten free, yellow onions diced small, green peppers, red pepper flakes (in place of the chili paste,low sodium soy sauce and canola oil (in place of the peanut oil and it turned out really delicious. There are 3 of us and the entire salad is gone, YUMMO ! I will make it with the original ingredients one day soon !!!! Thanks Tyler

    Wow, this was tasty and easy to make. I have seen other recipes that call for chicken soup instead of water and this is an awesome vegetarian version. I used organic egg white lo mein, low sodium soy, organic peanut butter and organic unhulled sesame seeds. Delish! I burnt the sesame seeds but it was still yummy. Big thumbs up from me. Thanks!
