Sam's Mom's Noodles

(listening to: Everything's Not Lost, Coldplay)

By popular demand: (i.e., Neola, this is for you)

This is about the easiest recipe possible, and will achieve maximum satisfaction on the part of whoever you will be serving this to. When serving, however, you must bill this as "Sam's Mom's Noodles." If I ever open a restaurant, it will be on the menu as such, mark my words.

Sam's Mom's Noodles
(feeds 8-10)

1 pound spaghetti (no angel hair)
5 tablespoons (TBS) sesame oil
2 whole carrots, grated
4-6 sliced scallions
1 box frozen peas

Marinade (mix following together in bowl)
4 TBS rice wine vinegar
6 TBS soy sauce
4 TBS sugar
2 TBS hot chile oil

1. Cook noodles, drain, put in serving bowl and while warm, toss with sesame oil.
2. While still warm, pour marinade on noodles and toss.
3. After noodles cool (about 30 min.), add grated carrots, scallions and peas, and toss.
4. Eat and enjoy.

You can let this sit out for up to 2 hours, as it is best to serve at room temperature. Any longer, refrigerate and let sit out for an hour before serving. If noodles seem dry, add soy sauce and chile oil, in equal parts, a little at a time.
