Preparation

Step 1

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine remaining ingredients; mix well. Add pasta and toss to coat evenly.

Cover and chill at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes:
Sure, you can serve this warm, but to bring out the sesame and peanut flavors, we recommend serving it cold, which is the traditional way. We also like to add cooked shrimp or chicken; and to give it a restaurant finished look, garnish with sesame seeds and additional sliced scallions.
