Cold Noodles In Spicy Peanut Sauce

Courses: Starters and appetizers

Recipe Ingredients

20   Fresh garlic - minced
10   Fresh coriander - minced
90   Peanut butter
15   Light soy sauce
60   Sugar
9   Rice wine
23   Hot bean paste
15   Sesame oil
500   Lo mein noodles

Recipe Instructions

1. Cook the lo mein according to directions. Let cool.

2. Mix the rest of the ingredients. Peanut butter doesn't mix very well, so for a few minutes you'll think you've made a mistake. Don't worry, just keep stirring until it's smooth.

3. Add the sauce to the noodles.

Author's Notes: I first had this at Brandy Ho's in Chinatown, San Francicso. I forget where I found the recipe.

Hot bean sauce also goes by the name Szechuan bean sauce etc. This is the main ``spicy'' ingredient and should be handled with care. Vary this ingredient to taste. This recipe is probably very good without it. It's also quite good served when the noodles are still hot.
