Ingredients

• 3 tbsp dark brown sugar

• ¾ lb dried spaghetti noodles
• (or asian noodle of choice)
• ⅔ cup water

Directions

1. Cook noodles according to package, drain.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine water, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, peanut oil, sesame seeds, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
3. Process until smooth.
4. After pasta is done cooking and drained, add to a large glass bowl.
5. Pour the peanut sesame sauce over the noodles and toss to coat.
6. The mixture/sauce will be very runny but it will thicken.
7. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour – the longer, the better.
8. I had mine in there for at least three.
9. I love when it’s super cold and the sauce is nice and thick.
10. Toss noodles again prior to serving.
