Ingredients

Units

12 oz dried linguine or spaghetti noodles
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 tbsp rice vinegar
2 tbsp creamy peanut butter
1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 tbsp freshly grated ginger
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp sriracha or chili garlic sauce
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 large English cucumber, julienned
2 medium carrots, julienned
4 green onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water to stop cooking and remove excess starch. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, peanut butter, honey, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sriracha until smooth and well combined.
3
Add the shredded cabbage, cucumber, carrots, and three-quarters of the green onions to the noodles. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly.
4
Transfer to a serving platter or bowl. Garnish with remaining green onions, fresh cilantro, toasted sesame seeds, and chopped peanuts. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
