Ingredients

12 ounces angel hair pasta
3 tablespoons dark sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1-inch piece fresh ginger, minced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon red chili paste, such as sambal
1 lime, juiced
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
2 green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
Fresh chopped 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 cold. Drain the noodles really well and transfer to a wide bowl; toss with the sesame oil so they don't stick together. Chill.

In a blender combine the peanut oil, ginger, garlic, chili paste, lime juice, brown sugar, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, and hot water. Blend. Toss the noodles with the peanut sauce until well coated. Serve at room temperature or chilled; garnish with the sesame seeds, green onions, and cilantro.

Very Good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was really good. The sauce is very pungent in a good way. The only thing I changed was that I substitute the... noodles with buckwheat noodles or soba for the added nutrion. It is really good with a protien, I choose tuna. A fantastic recipe either way.Read more

The best!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

So far I have addicted: my 84 year old dad, my sister, my son......to these so yummy noodles. I make a double batch every... week to divvy up amongst the family. Great to have in the fridge when its too hot to to cook, or brown bag to work for lunch, or are looking for something substantial for that 2 AM coming home from a late night snack. The noodles DO suck up the sauce and they can get a tad dry. Here's what I do: I double the sauce recipe. Add what is called for in the recipe for the noodles, and keep the rest in a separate jar in the fridge. If the noodles get a little dry, stir in a little extra sauce and you will think you just made them 5 minutes ago. This dish actually gets better after a day or two in the fridge. Tyler Florence rocks!Read more

Delicious!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is simple and delicious... I made it in 15 minutes at 5:00 a.m. and it didn't tax my poor brain too much. My only... challenge now will be to refrain from eating it all before lunchtime!Read more

Easy and yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We love this recipe b/c it always has leftovers that are perfect for snacking during the week. We make it at least a couple... times a month. If you add shredded chicken, you can make it a meal. I also like to add chopped peanuts and cucumber. Adding any vegetable will make it stretch.Read more

I crave this recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've made this recipe several times. It is so quick, easy and delicious! I love that I can make it now and serve it later. I... use chili powder instead of chili paste and sesame oil instead of the peanut oil because that's what I have on hand, and it still tastes delicious. It's perfect for dinner and lunch the next day.Read more
