Instructions: Cook the lo mein according to directions. Let cool.

Mix the rest of the ingredients. Peanut butter doesnt mix very well, so for a few minutes youll think youve made a mistake. Dont worry, just keep stirring until its smooth. Add the sauce to the noodles.

Hot bean sauce also goes by the name Szechuan bean sauce etc. This is the main "spicy" ingredient and should be handled with care. Vary this ingredient to taste.

This recipe is probably very good without it.

Its also quite good served when the noodles are still hot.

NOTES:
* Mildly spicy cold noodles - I first had this at Brandy Hos in Chinatown, San Francisco. I forget where I found the recipe.

Difficulty: easy.

Time: 10 minutes preparation, 5 minutes cooking.
