Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
In a small skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring, for about 10 minutes until they are golden and fragrant. Bring water to a boil.
Step 2
Set aside one tablespoon of toasted seeds and place the rest in a blender. Add soy sauce, peanut butter, vinegar, sugar, grated ginger, chopped garlic, and TABASCO, and blend for 30 seconds.
Step 3
While the blender is running, gradually add hot water, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches a consistency similar to thick cream.
Step 4
In a pot, bring 6 liters of water to a boil, add one tablespoon of salt and the noodles, and cook for about 4 minutes until the noodles are soft. Then drain the water and rinse the noodles with cold water to cool them down. Shake well and transfer to a large bowl.
Step 5
Thinly slice the green onions and bell pepper, and peel and grate the carrot. Add them and the sesame sauce to the noodles and mix. Serve on plates, garnished with the remaining sesame seeds.
