Peanut butter lovers… these Cold Sesame Noodles are for YOU! Ah, Tyler Florence… he’s one of those chefs that I actually watch on Food Network… sometimes because he’s just easy-on-the-eyes, and sometimes because he’s making something droolworthy, like these Cold Sesame Noodles.
Chinese egg pasta is tossed with a peanut buttery sauce to create a creamy Asian-style noodle dish. Cool, sliced cucumbers act as a refreshing accompaniment and a welcome bite among the rich flavors. Throw some chicken in the mix to create a main dish, or serve this up as a side to Asian Lettuce Wraps or Hoisin- Lime Marinated Chicken.
This recipe comes from Tyler Florence’s cookbook, Tyler’s Ultimate… loads of appetizing pictures and good-sounding recipes. It’s a definite keeper. My family thinks these noodles are great, but I really think you have to be a peanut butter fan to enjoy this one. My 7 year old (an avid peanut butter lover) has re-named it, “Peanut Butter Spaghetti.” If you’re looking for a few more Asian-style recipes, you might also enjoy my Easy Shrimp Fried Rice or this 15 Minute Lo Mein. Sweet and Spicy Chicken Lettuce Wraps and Spicy Sesame Chicken Potstickers are also delicious Asian recipes.
