Chinese Cold Sesame Noodles
This is a cold noodle dish consisting of vegetables (usually bean sprouts or cucumber) and pasta (I love to use spaghetti) topped with sesame sauce. It is unbelievably easy to prepare and tastes very good. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.
