Step 1
Cook the 8 oz noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the 3 tbsp sesame paste, 2 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp chili oil until smooth. If too thick, add 1-2 tbsp hot water to loosen.
Step 3
Thinly slice the 2 green onions and roughly chop the 0.25 cup peanuts.
Step 4
Toss the hot noodles with the sauce until evenly coated. Top with the green onions and peanuts. Serve immediately.
