the problem is i can't remember if i have sesame oil at home. (or peanut or canola, for that matter.) i usually do but during my "kitchen cure" i know i got rid of a lot of old stuff. i stop at the grocery store on my walk home, recipe in hand. i do not want to walk up that hill to check and then walk back, and i do not want to buy a bottle of the stuff if i already have it! what a drag. too bad matt is not home to check for me.
UPDATE: it was really good! i used precooked buckwheat soba so it was really quick. it took more time to mince the ginger and garlic. next time i would leave out the sugar, and instead of using morningstar chik strips, i would use tofu. i didn't use an english cucumber but carrots and a little yellow squash i already had instead. matt wasn't around so i just cooked for one!
last night i also made carrot muffins, from Joy. i had a lot of extra carrots from the CSA box, and i also used fresh squeezed orange juice! i brought most of them to share at work today since they won't last long in this heat.

peanut sauce on vegetables always sounds so weird to me. I love the peanut sauce that our favorite Thai restaurant provides for their fresh rolls but it still seems like a weird combination that I don't eat any other time. and I loove peanut butter. Peanut butter and honey, peanut butter and apples, peanut butter and crackers, peanut butter cookies, peanut butter candy, peanut butter ice cream, peanut butter spoonfulls, peanut butter with cheerios honey and raisins...but not really peanut butter sandwiches.
So did you make it? In one of my "easy" cookbooks there's a recipe for noodles w/ peanut sauce. I've made it a few times. It's crazy easy and the sauce is well...it has peanut butter! So yum. The sauce is actually pretty similar to the recipe you were looking at but it uses 2 Tbs white vinegar, 1/3 c. broth, 1 Tbs lemon juice. The rest was the same. You also garnish this version w/ dry-roasted peanuts which I'd recommend!
this peanut sauce is probably very similar to what you get at thai restaurants. especially if you use chunky peanut butter like i did! combined with all the other sauces it's not that sweet. i totally should've added peanuts on top! i did have the sesame seeds for crunch. i added a photo of it--hope it worked!
