TAKEOUT-STYLE SESAME NOODLES
Noodles dressed with sesame are popular in many parts of China, but this particular style, made with peanut butter and served cold, became a Chinese-American staple in the United States in the 1970s. The family of Shorty Tang - an ambitious restaurateur who emigrated from Sichuan to Taipei to New York - firmly believes that he invented the dish and still serve it at Hwa Yuan, the restaurant he opened in 1967 in Manhattan's Chinatown. They have never divulged the exact recipe; this is our own lush but refreshing version.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. They should retain a hint of chewiness. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with a splash of sesame oil.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter, sugar, ginger, garlic and chili-garlic paste.
- Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with cucumber and peanuts.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Place the sesame seeds in a pie tin and toast in the oven until light golden in color, 4 to 6 minutes, and set aside. Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. Do not overcook. Drain, reserving some of the starchy pasta water, rinse and set aside.
- For the peanut dressing: Place the peanut butter in a large measuring cup and microwave to soften, 15 seconds. Whisk in with the soy sauce, vinegar, canola oil, ginger, honey, Sriracha, sesame oil and lime zest and juice in a small bowl. Thin with the starchy pasta water if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. (Dressing should be thick, but pourable.)
- For the salad: Place the pasta in a large mixing bowl and add the cilantro and vegetables and toss with the dressing. Top with the chopped peanuts and toasted sesame seeds and serve.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, then drain.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and noodles will give your dish the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, but be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and bland.

- Add some protein: If you want to make your dish more hearty, add some protein, such as chicken, shrimp, or tofu. Just be sure to cook the protein thoroughly before adding it to the noodles.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, or mint, will add a pop of color and flavor to your dish.
