Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti or Chinese egg noodles
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 0.3333 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 0.25 cup Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger, grated
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Carrot, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 stalks Green onions, sliced
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the noodles, rinse them under cold water to cool, and toss them with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, water, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil until smooth and well combined. Adjust the consistency with a little extra water if the sauce is too thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled noodles with the cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, and green onions.
Pour the sesame-peanut sauce over the noodles and vegetables. Toss everything gently until the noodles are well coated with the sauce.
Transfer the dressed noodles to a serving platter or individual bowls. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, chopped cilantro, and red pepper flakes, if using.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours to enjoy cold. Garnish with additional sesame seeds or cilantro before serving, if desired.
