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

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.

the taste was outstanding the day of. it was a tad too "globby" [technical term] days hence. since he seems to have three different version with less pb and more sesame oil and peanut oil...those likely deserve some consideration. still and all...better than I have had anywhere and delightedly surprised.

We loved it and the leftovers were great the next day! It would be the perfect picnic lunch. Our changes were based on other reviews and really helped.
1 Followed the review that said 1/4 pb and 1/4 tahini--great!
2 Used a little less garlic, more ginger and more sriracha (personal taste
3 Added some sauteed vegetables--carrots, bok choy, and peas

We have made this dish several times now, and love it every time. It has great heat and the flavors work together very well. I notice he has posted this recipe from two of his other shows (Boil Water, Ultimate now after this one so I'll check those out to see if he has improved on it, but no improvements needed for me. A little hot for my kids, who like hot food, but they never leave any on the plate.
