1Boil your noodles in salted water and take them out about 30 seconds early. Save a bit of pasta water then rinse the noodles.
2In a cold pan, toss in peanut butter, chili flakes, green onion, sesame seeds, garlic, one tablespoon of chili crisp, rice vinegar, and dark soy sauce.
3Heat one third cup of neutral oil until it’s dangerously hot. Carefully pour it over the cold ingredients and stir.
4Add your noodles and toss until they’re completely coated and glossy. If you want restaurant-level silkiness, turn the heat to medium low and mix in a splash of your saved noodle water.
5Kill the heat, hit it with extra green onion, a spoon of chili crisp, and a squeeze of lime.
