Cold Sesame Noodles image

I first had these at a little lunch counter in the building that I worked in. They were very popular and my absolute favorite! The woman who owned the lunch counter also had a catering company and when I went to work for her during the holidays I asked for the recipe and she gave it to me! :) Now I can have them anytime and they are great to keep in the fridge for a quick something or to take to a barbecue or potluck. I promise they will be well received!

Time 18m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons peanut butter
3 tablespoons warm water
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground fresh ginger
1 teaspoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon honey or 1 teaspoon sugar
3 teaspoons soy sauce
1 lb linguine or 1 lb spaghetti, cooked al dente
2 -3 tablespoons chopped scallions
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1/3 cup carrot, grated into matchstick pieces, you can buy these pre-grated at the salad bar in the grocery store (optional)

Steps:

  • While pasta is cooking, pulse all of the ingredients in a food processor just until well incorporated (do not over blend).
  • When the pasta is cooked, drain, and mix with sauce.
  • Then add carrots and toss (I never leave the carrots out).
  • Chill for a few hours before serving.
  • They are best cold!
  • Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds just before serving.
