Easy Noodles in Garlic-Ginger Peanut Sauce image

From Easy Asian Noodles by Helen Chen, this recipe is a GREAT cool noodle dish for a hot summer day! Very versatile, I've even made it with dollar store ramen when the budget's tight - just boil the noodles (2 packs) with the flavor packets in the boiling water and drain, then cool the noodles thoroughly in ice water as the recipe suggests. Chen says, "This is a bold peanut vinaigrette that's bursting with garlic and ginger flavor. It's excellent on either Asian noodles or Italian pasta and is a perfect side dish to almost any grilled fish or meat. If using Italian noodles, I prefer the thinner vermicelli." Meant as a side dish, we enjoy it as a dinner also - toss in some shredded cabbage and carrots and it really is a great summer evening meal!
