Sesame Noodles

16 oz. spaghetti   1 cup fresh orange juice

¼ cup soy sauce   ¼ cup peanut butter

¼ cup rice vinegar   1 T. sesame oil

1 T. grated ginger   2 T. sugar

¼ tsp. crushed red pepper   2 green onions, sliced

10 oz. shredded carrots (about 3 ½ cups)

3 cucumbers

2 T. toasted sesame seeds

Directions:  Cook spaghetti per directions.  Cut cucumbers into matchstick-thin 

strips.  In a medium bowl, whisk orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, peanut butter, oil, 

ginger, sugar, and crushed red pepper until blended.  Set sauce aside.

Place carrots in colander; drain pasta over carrots.  In a large serving bowl, toss pasta 

mixture, cucumbers, and sliced green onions with sauce in bowl.  Garnish with 

sesame seeds.

Comment:  Nice change of pace. Good with sliced chicken breast or shrimp.
