Sauce

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook the noodles according to the packet directions. Drain, then briefly rinse under running water to stop them sticking together.

  2. Step 2: Put the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix until smooth. Briefly microwave the mixture if needed to help it come together.

Notes

Ingredient options

  • Fresh egg noodles work well, but dried noodles or other types such as rice noodles or ramen can also be used. Very thin vermicelli or glass noodles are not recommended.

  • You can use all-purpose or light soy sauce, or a combination of either, in place of the dark soy sauce. Avoid using only dark soy sauce, which can dominate the flavor.

  • If you do not have Chinese sesame paste or tahini, use more peanut butter.

  • Use any chili sauce or paste you like, or substitute pepper or chili flakes for the garlic chili paste.

The noodles can be made well in advance of serving.
