Sesame Noodles

cold noodles

And we have gone from fall/winter to full on summer.  I want something filling, tasty and cold.

Walking and dripping my way from PABT, to my LIC lair, I passed a noodle shop, “lo and behold” they had a sign hawking their “Cold Sesame Noodles”.

Not to be arrogant, but I know how I like my noodles, and I know what I want in my noodles.   I’ll do this at home.

I’ll plan for ~4oz of noodles per person.

Sesame Noodles

Sweet, Spicy, Cool and Tasty. The prefect side or entree for a warm day.
