PEANUT SESAME NOODLES

Peanut Sesame Noodles image

The secret to this Chinese favorite is not to let the noodles sit in the sauce very long - toss them together a few seconds before serving. COOKS NOTES: Think about adding julienned carrots and cucumber. You may also like to add a bit more vinegar, sesame oil,garlic and soy sauce for tang! Great leftovers too!!
