  • 2 Tbls toasted sesame oil can add up to 2 Tbls more, if desired

  • Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain into a colander and pass under cold running water to cool. Shake out excess water.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, sesame oil, Sriracha, brown sugar, ginger and salt. Add the noodles and toss well to coat.

  • Divide nodles among bowls. Top with cucumbers, scallions, peanuts and a little more Sriracha, if you like extra heat.
