Step 1
To cook fresh noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 3 minutes. (When you test a noodle it should still have a slight chewiness). Drain in a colander and immediately rinse with cold water, running the noodles through your fingers to make sure they aren't clumping. Once the noodles feel cool and are well drained, transfer to a bowl and toss with a tablespoon of sesame oil (or a splash more if needed).
Step 2
To cook dried noodles: Cook according to package instructions; drain, rinse with cold water and add sesame oil.
Step 3
Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sesame paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter, maple syrup (or sugar), ginger, garlic, remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, and chili sauce.
Step 4
To finish: Pour half of the sauce over the noodles and toss. Transfer to serving bowls, passing around more sauce, sliced cucumbers, radishes and chopped peanuts for topping.
