How to Make Sesame Noodles With Peanut Sauce

- Process until completely smooth, scraping down the sides as needed. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
- Transfer the sauce to a bowl and let it stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour (or up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to meld.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
