Time 15m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces Chinese egg noodles, preferably fresh
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons brewed tea or water
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seed paste (see note)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 garlic cloves, mashed to paste
Half-inch piece fresh ginger, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, testing frequently so they don't overcook. Drain well and toss with sesame oil. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days ahead.
  • Combine remaining ingredients except green onion and mix well. (Sesame paste often separates and can be difficult to recombine. Paste and some oil can be processed in food processor with steel knife. Add garlic and ginger, and while paste is being blended, garlic and ginger will be finely minced.) Refrigerate for up to a week. Before serving, return to room temperature.
  • To serve, mix sauce with noodles and serve topped with green onion.
