CHINESE SESAME NOODLE SALAD
This is the perfect "salad" for a hot summer day. You will love the combination of flavors from the creaminess of the peanut butter, the crisp and refreshing pop of cucumber crunchiness, and the hint of saltiness from the fish sauce. I almost love this even more the next day. You'll taste all 6 sensory tastes with this...

Steps:
- 1. Boil the noodles until soft (about 6-8 minutes). Immediately drain and rinse in cold water. Stop the cooking process! Drain well and toss with sesame oil to keep from sticking together.
- 2. Heat vegetable oil, add the garlic, onions, ginger and chili. Cook for a few minutes, then add the remainder of the dressing ingredients. When the sugar has dissolved and the peanut butter is creamed into the the dressing, toss over the noodles. Use your fingers to gently massage the dressing into the noodles.
- 3. Transfer the salad to a pretty dish. Discard any remaining dressing (you don't want to drown the noodles). Top with cucumber slices, toasted sesame seeds and cilantro. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
