COLD NOODLES IN SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

     COLD-NOODLES - Mildly spicy cold noodles

     I first had this at Brandy Ho's in Chinatown, San Francicso.
     I forget where I found the recipe.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)
     2 Tbsp    fresh garlic, minced
     3 Tbsp    fresh coriander, minced
     1/2 cup   peanut butter
     5 oz      light soy sauce
     5 Tbsp    sugar
     1/2-3 tsp rice wine
     1-2 Tbsp  hot bean paste
     1 Tbsp    sesame oil
     1 lb      lo mein noodles (other noodles will do, such as
               ramen noodles or even spagetti).

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Cook the lo mein according to directions.  Let
               cool.

          (2)  Mix the rest of the ingredients.  Peanut butter
               doesn't mix very well, so for a few minutes you'll
               think you've made a mistake.  Don't worry, just
               keep stirring until it's smooth.

          (3)  Add the sauce to the noodles.

NOTES
     Hot bean sauce also goes by the name Szechuan bean sauce
     etc.  This is the main "spicy" ingredient and should be han-
     dled with care.  Vary this ingredient to taste.  This recipe
     is probably very good without it.  It's also quite good
     served when the noodles are still hot.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 5 minutes
     cooking.  Precision: no need to measure.
