Notes
- If using store-bought dressing, stir in 1 tablespoon soy sauce and 1 tablespoon peanut butter for extra flavor.
- Quick Homemade Sesame Dressing1/4 cup rice vinegar1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced1 clove garlic, minced1 tablespoon hoisin sauce1 tablespoon vegetable oil1/2 teaspoon sesame oil1 teaspoon soy sauce
- For extra flavorful and crunchy nuts, toast them in a dry sauté pan until they are barely browned.
- To extract the most juice from the lime, soften it by rolling it across the counter a few times before cutting it.
- Rinse the noodles in cold water to stop them from cooking.
- Keep in mind that the noodles will absorb the dressing as it sits so add a bit of extra dressing.
