Hot and Cold Sesame Noodles

Cookie16's Note:

Based closely on Rachael Ray Cooking 'Round the Clock. There are a bunch of other sesame noodle recipes here so I wasn't going to post it but I really loved this. It tastes better cold, the next day in my opinion. I used 2 tablespoons of Sriracha hot sauce and it was a bit spicy for the kids so if you have someone who does not like spicy food you might want to cut it back.

I made this this morning and have let it sit for several hours. It is very good. I can't say I followed it very closely tho. I used peanuts instead of sesame seeds and used rice noodles. I used Bragg's amino's for the soy sauce and left out the bean sprouts.
