Cold Noodles In Spicy Peanut Sauce

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons	30ml	Garlic - minced (fresh)
3 tablespoons	45ml	Coriander - minced
1/2 cup	99g / 3.5oz	Peanut butter
5 oz	142g	Soy sauce - light
5 tablespoons	75ml	Sugar
1 tablespoon	15ml	Rice wine
1 tablespoon	15ml	Hot bean paste - (up to 2 T)
1 tablespoon	15ml	Sesame oil
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Lo mein noodles - (other, noodles will do,
		As ramen noodles - or even spaghetti)

Recipe Instructions

Cook the lo mein according to directions. Let cool. 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. Add the sauce to the noodles.

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.

NOTES:

* Mildly spicy cold noodles -- I first had this at Brandy Ho's in Chinatown, San Francisco. I forget where I found the recipe.
