1.
Cook noodles according to package directions, adding the baking soda to the water before you start. (This results in a springier, more slippery noodle.) Drain and rinse briefly. Cover to keep warm.
2.
Place all sauce ingredients, aside from water, into a microwaveable bowl. Heat for 30 seconds. Mix. Heat for another 30 seconds. Mix again.
3.
Add the water and heat once again for 30 seconds. Whisk everything together well. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
4.
Pour the sauce over the warm noodles and toss until the noodles are coated.
5.
Garnish with scallions, sesame, and peanuts. You can mix some of the garnish into the noodles as well.
can this be made in advance? how? how can i prepare this in advance for a meal on Shavuos?
I would make all the components before Shavuos and then right before the meal, mix the sauce and veggies with the pasta. You don’t want the pasta to sit in the sauce for multiple days in your fridge because it can get soggy.
delicious!
