Takeout-Style Sesame Noodles

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. They should retain a hint of chewiness. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with a splash of sesame oil.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter, sugar, ginger, garlic and chili-garlic paste.

Step 3

Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with cucumber and peanuts.
