Sesame Noodles With Sliced Almonds
"This recipe was created by my friend, Gayla, a vegetarian. Even though I'm not a vegetarian, I loved it so much that I wanted to share it. It has a nice amount of spice and a great flavor. The ingredients might seem really random, but they mix together nicely. I like to eat the noodles cold. They really soak up the sauce after sitting in the fridge for a few hours. For the non-vegetarians feel free to add meat if you'd like to serve it as a main course. I bet tofu would taste good in it too."

A very, very tasty side dish AND snack! Used & did everything as indicated, but I did leave out the salt ~ plenty of it in this dish without adding more, I thought! Great tasting sauce here, too, especially with the blending of the maple syrup & garlic with the several oils! Am keeping this one! [Made & reviewed for one of my adopted chefs in this Spring's PAC]
