Recipe video above. Sesame Noodles tossed in a wicked Asian Sesame Peanut Dressing! Terrific served at room temperature or warm, this is a great side dish. Or turn it into a complete meal by adding shredded salads like carrots, cabbage and bean sprouts, and how about some shredded chicken too? Serves 6 - 8 as a side.
