Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
2. Add the pasta and cook it according to the package directions. 
   
   
3. While the pasta cooks, whisk the ingredients for the peanut sesame sauce together in a small bowl. Thin the mixture with as much water as you need. You want the sauce to be thick and creamy, but pourable.
4. Drain the pasta into a colander and put aside. 
5. Cook onions in oil. Cook. Add the noodles and sauce the skillet. Flip everything a few times to coat the noodles.
6. Raise the heat to high and cook for about a minute, just until everything is heated throughout.
7. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the green onions. 
8. Top the noodles with the peanuts and green parts of scallions. Divide onto plates and serve!
