Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles al dente according to package instructions.  Drain, then rinse with cold water in a colander until the noodles are chilled.
  2. Meanwhile, make your sesame peanut sauce.  Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until combined.  Taste and add extra soy sauce, if needed.  Also, if the sauce seems too thick (it should be thin enough to drizzle), whisk in a tablespoon or two of water.
  3. Add noodles, carrots, cucumber, cabbage, cilantro, green onions and sesame peanut sauce to a large mixing bowl.  Toss until evenly combined.
  4. Serve cold, topped with your desired garnishes.  Or transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
