Bun Bun Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce

10 oz. dry spaghetti
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
3 tbsp sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp chile pepper flakes
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp corn oil
Garnishes: slivered carrots, green onions, red peppers, toasted sesame seeds, roasted peanuts, fresh cilantro

Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until done, then drain and rinse with cold water until the noodles are cold. Let noodles drain for about 10 minutes.

Whisk together the rest of ingredients until thoroughly blended. (You could heat the mixture very slightly to facilitate whisking or set the bowl over the steam rising from the cooking pasta for a few minutes.) Toss the noodles with sauce.

Let stand at room temperature for at least 4 hours before serving or refrigerate and serve within 2 days. Always toss noodles before serving to distribute sauce evenly.

To serve, place a mound of noodles on plate and garnish with your choice of any or all of the pretty, crunchy additions listed above.

Number of Servings: 6
