Ingredients

1 pound Chinese egg noodles or spaghetti
Kosher salt
1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 teaspoon red chili sauce (recommended: Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
6 tablespoons water
2 scallions, sliced thin
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds, for garnish
Fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish

Directions

Cook the noodles in large pot of boiling salted water over medium heat until barely tender and still firm. Drain immediately and rinse with cold water until cool. Drain the noodles well and transfer to a wide bowl.

In a blender, add the ginger, garlic, sugar, peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, chili sauce, sesame oil, and water. Process until the mixture is smooth. Put the blender jar into the refrigerator and let it chill for about 1/2 hour. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles and toss until well coated. Serve garnished with the scallions, sesame seeds, and cilantro.

I altered it a LOT and got really good reviews.
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

The peanut butter amount is WAY too much... I used 1/2 cup of peanut butter, and doubled the sesame...added more water soy... sauce and rice wine vinegar... It tasted like actual peanut sesame noodles..not just peanut butter on noodles... everyone really loved it...but you REALLY have to alter it.Read more

A few changes really made a difference
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I took the advice of a few of the other reviewers and used only 1/4 c of natural peanut butter and 1/4 of Tahini which really... brightened the sesame flavor. i also added a little extra garlic some julienned carrots and used linguine noodles instead. It was delicious. i really think the tahini made all the difference! Read more

Quite Good!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Not a PB lover at all, but using 1/2 cup of it and increasing the hot sauce to 3 tsp, it was REALLY good! It wasn't the best... I've ever tasted, but does rate a close second. As many have said, it's a GREAT home recipe that can be seasoned to taste. Look forward to using it again.Read more

OK
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

These were just OK. Maybe too much peanut butter.
