The secret to this Chinese favorite is not to let the noodles sit in the sauce very long — toss them together a few seconds before serving.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup warm water
2 tablespoons chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 medium garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons asian sesame oil
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
3/4 lb dried linguine fini or spaghetti
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/8-inch-thick strips
3 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted
Directions:
1. Make dressing: Purée dressing ingredients in a blender until smooth, about 2 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
2. Make salad: Cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until tender. Drain in a colander, then rinse well under cold water.
3. Add pasta, scallions, bell peppers, and sesame seeds to dressing, tossing to combine, and serve immediately.
