Sesame peanut noodles from Nigella Express: 130 Recipes for Good Food, Fast (page 261) by Nigella Lawson

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    I’ve made this recipe many many times over the years, and it’s one of my favorites. It is absolutely delicious especially if you leave it in the fridge overnight. It gets better with time. Although, and my house it doesn’t last very long.

    A bit bland. I'm going to have to fiddle about with the leftovers to make it a bit more tasty. As is, it would probably be better as a side.

    I also found the dressing too thick. It won’t coat the noodles unless thinned. The taste of the dressing isn’t great either. I won’t make this again.

    p. 261 - Dec 2010 - First use of this recipe and won't make again. Dressing was ok but not remarkable. I have many superior recipes. The primary issue was that the dressing was far too thick. I intended to serve my noodles hot so thinned the sauce out w some chx stock and it was fine but just not as tasty as others. Also, no heat to this one at all so had to beef that up as well.
