Appropriate accessories for sesame noodles?

[spinbaby]

I'm making sesame noodles for a party on Friday. I remember once having them with a whole bunch of little dishes on the side filled with "accessories" and would like to do the same. What goes with sesame noodles? All I can think of offhand are chopped peanuts and chopped green onions.

Mmmm.

Wanna' share your recipe with us? I want to make some and my recipes are put away in a box because of painting.

5. An approximate recipe

I make these all the time--I just don't usually serve anything on the side.

Soak a half box (not sure how much that is) of rice noodles in hot (from the tap, not boiling) water.

Into the blender, put:

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup each balsamic vinegar and sesame oil
large spoonful of sugar
Clove of garlic
couple of spoonfuls more or less of soy sauce (depends on how salty you want it)
a few hot pepper flakes

blend sauce, drain noodles, add sauce to noodles, refrigerate.



I'm not sure I can find lemongrass in the wilds of rural PA. Cucumber sounds good, though, and I happen to have some home-grown ones.

But the seeds, ground, might also be good. Hmm.

Hey, thanks for the recipe. Gonna' try it.
