szechuan" noodles with peanut sauce

2/3 cup hot water
2/3 cup smooth all natural peanut butter
4 tsp soy sauce
4 tsp rice vinegar
4 scallions finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely minsed
1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes


I also add about 1 tsp toasted sesame oil and sometimes chopped yellow pepper. first blend hot water and peanut butter, then add all other ingredients - except some of the scallions and the yellow pepper, which you'll sprinkle on last. I think this is the right amount for about 16 oz of spaghetti.
