Spicy Sesame Noodles

Spicy sesame noodles, an amalgamation of western preferences and traditional Asian flavours, is a staple of most Chinese restaurants in the States. Like most of my recipes, this is a cinch to make, and because it can be served hot or chilled, prepped way beforehand on busy weeknights.  


Ingredients (feeds 6 pax):
a packet angel hair pasta, dunked in salted boiling water and drained
8 tbsp white sesame seeds
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp peri peri sauce
1/2 cup toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp chilli oil
1 tbsp olive oil
5 tbsp light soy
8 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp five-spice powder


Directions:
1) Fry garlic in olive oil until just turned a shade darker.

2) Turn off the heat and whisk together the sesame oil, chilli oil, hoisin sauce, peanut butter, peri peri sauce, soy, and five-spice powder.

3) Toss the drained pasta in the sauce and serve with sprinkling of sesame seeds.
