Lucky are the cooks who can buy fresh wheat noodles in a Chinese market. For those who can't, spaghetti is an acceptable second choice. For this dish, the cooked noodles should be served at room temperature, not chilled.

Ingredients

Serves:

2/3 cup creamy peanut butter

2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced

2 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger

2 tablespoons sesame oil (reserve 2 teaspoons for noodles)

1 tablespoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons white vinegar

2 teaspoons chile oil or red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons sugar

1/2 cup warm freshly brewed black tea or warm water

Salt to taste

12 ounces spaghetti

1 cup chopped cucumber

2/3 cup cilantro leaves

3 scallions, thinly sliced

1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (optional but desirable)

Directions

In a large bowl, blend the peanut butter with the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, chile, and sugar. Stir in the warm tea or water a little at a time to make a fairly smooth sauce with the consistency of pudding. Taste and add salt, if needed.

Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water according to the directions on the package, usually just over 10 minutes. Drain in a colander, rinse under cold water, and return to the cooled pot. Toss with the reserved 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Pour the spaghetti into the peanut sauce and toss well.

Divide between 4 bowls and serve at once. Pass bowls of cucumber, cilantro, scallions, and chicken separately and let diners add what they wish.
