1/2 c of water (hot)
2-3 tbsps of pepper oil (hot)
2 tsps of ginger (fresh); chopped finely
1/4 c of honey
1/2 c of sesame oil (dark)

1/2 of a cucumber; seeded, peeled and sliced

Instructions:
Bring water to boil in a big pot. Put in the noodles. Allow to cook for a few minutes but make sure that noodles do not turn up limp or pasty. Use a sieve to drain noodles then rinse using water.
Toss with sesame oil (dark) to keep pasta strips from sticking to each other. To prepare the dressing, put all the ingredients together except for the heated water. Blend the mixture until you get a smooth consistency. Add heated water if dressing is too pasty.
Make shavings from the carrot for the garnish. Put these in cool water so the shavings will curl. Pour sauce over noodles then toss. Best served cold.
