If there is one thing I am totally addicted to at any Asian restaurant, it’s anything with peanut sauce. Satay is really just the vehicle that gets the peanut sauce into my mouth. I’ve definitely been known to just lick off the sauce and double dip. I know, the horror. I bet I’m not the only one though.
Luckily there are lots of recipes that make it easy to indulge in my peanut sauce obsession, like this Sesame Peanut Noodle recipe.
This recipe is one of my all-time favorite things to eat, ever. The peanut with the soy and sesame are so perfectly harmonious that I can practically eat an entire batch of these noodles by myself. Many times, you see these Cold Sesame Peanut Noodles on a menu with chicken but they are so delicious that they are perfect on their own. The julienne carrots add just the right amount of crunch and the toasted sesame seeds ensure a full sesame flavor. Since this is a cold noodle recipe, they make a great lunch recipe too. Make up a big batch and you are set for the week!
