A favorite Chinese restaurant appetizer comes together quickly with a

no-cook sauce. Combine the sauce ingredients in a food processor, and

process until smooth.

 

Cook the noodles in plenty of rapidly simmering water until al

dente. Drain and rinse until cool, then drain well again. In a large

serving bowl, combine the noodles with the sauce, and toss well. Garnish

with a sprinkling of sesame seeds and scallion, and serve.
