Method:
1. Cook noodles in water for just a few minutes, so they are just beginning to soften but are not yet all the way cooked. Drain.
2. In a large skillet, fry the noodles in 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, stirring frequently. Allow to cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until noodles are soft. Remove from heat.
3. In a large bowl or blender, whisk or blend together the 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, peanut butter, water, soy sauce (or tamari), tahini, sherry or rice vinegar, maple syrup, garlic and ginger.
4. Toss this mixture with the noodles.
5. Stir in the green onions. Chill before serving, if desired
