Some of you probably can’t wait to get your hands dirty cooking and eating some of the dishes in the book. So here’s one.
Sesame Peanut Noodle
This dish has developed a trendy following as of late, but my version was first. Okay, maybe not the very first, but it’s got a serious chance in a Sesame Peanut Noodle battle. It is best served cold with fresh chopped green onions sprinkled over the top. Try adding a chopped chicken breast or salmon filet.
