Preparation
- Step 1
Cook noodles according to package instructions, until just tender; they should retain a bit of bite. Drain, rinse well with cold water and drain again.
- Step 2
Discard seeds from cucumber, and slice quarters crosswise as thin as possible. Place in a large bowl. Add chilies, and set aside.
- Step 3
In a small saucepan, combine sugar, rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Place over low heat until sugar dissolves, and add to cucumber mixture. Add peanuts and cilantro, and mix well. Add noodles, and toss to mix.
- Step 4
Sprinkle the noodle mixture with sesame oil and soy sauce, and toss gently until all the ingredients have been evenly distributed. Refrigerate salad until it is chilled, about 20 minutes.
- Green-tea noodles are available at health food stores and specialty markets.

This was easy and delicious. I used the ramen style green noodles from a Japanese grocery and a seeded jalapeño pepper. Pretty much followed directions and will make again. Probably would be perfect with grilled steak.
This recipe is so delicious. My husband is allergic to cilantro so I used mint. Couldn't find green tea noodles so I used rice noodles. Did everything else as spelled out in the recipe and am so pleased. This will be a go-to recipe for the rest of the summer.
