For the recipe archive - I haven’t made these yet, but saw the recipe and knew that I wanted to save it somewhere I’d remember.  Thanks to Toast for the recipe.

Also, Lindy, of the Toast blog is having a make your own take out/what do you take for lunch and what do you take it in challenge of sorts - check it out and submit your entries.  If you’re a writer here, please share it here along with a note to Lindy.

Anyway, here’s the sesame noodle recipe.  This looks so good, I may have to dump one of the planned meals of the week in favor of these noodles:
1 1b chinese egg noodles, best if fresh noodles
2 Tbsps sesame oil
3 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsps rice vinegar
2 Tbsps sesame paste-Chinese or other toasted sesame kind
1 Tbsp smooth commercial style peanut butter
1 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 tspa minced garlic
2 tsps chili garlic paste
matchsticks of peeled cucumber
chopped roasted peanuts.

Cook noodles in boiling water until just south of chewy. Drain. Whisk together everything but cukes and peanuts. Pour sauce over noodles and toss very thoroughly. Let cool. Garnish with cukes and peanuts- and a few scallions wouldn’t hurt.
