This weekend’s bang bang cold noodles special is one of the most perfect lunches for a humid and hot day. You know it’s serious when you sweat just walking from your parked car to the grocery store entrance.
It was time for lunch and I was saving the bang bang noodles just for this. Cool, crisp cucumbers, sliced tomatoes, wheat noodles, and chicken mixed with a delightful spiced sesame sauce. That sesame sauce packs so much flavor…there’s not a whole lot of it but it seasoned everything perfectly. I may have used some of yesterday’s HCR chili sauce to pump up the heat. A lychee sparkling water from the PRD cold case made my afternoon very enjoyable.
