Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Spaghetti or Chinese egg noodles
- 3 tbsp Sesame oil
- 0.25 cup Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 2 tbsp Peanut butter
- 1 tbsp Honey or sugar
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Ginger, grated
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 8 oz Roast pork (char siu or leftover roasted pork), thinly sliced
- 4 Scallions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Sesame seeds, toasted
- 1 Cucumber, julienned or sliced (optional)
- 1 Carrot, julienned (optional)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti or Chinese egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, rinse under cold water, and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter, honey (or sugar), minced garlic, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes until smooth and well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled noodles with the sauce. Toss until the noodles are evenly coated.
Add the sliced roast pork, scallions, and toasted sesame seeds to the noodles. Toss again to mix thoroughly.
If desired, fold in the julienned cucumber and carrot for added crunch and freshness.
Serve immediately at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before serving for a refreshing cold noodle dish.
Garnish with additional sesame seeds or scallions, if desired, and enjoy!
