  Everyone loves Chinese noodles, with their spicy, pungent sauce. This
  particular sauce uses garlic, fresh ginger peanut butter and tahini.
  It's perfect on cold Asian noodles, such as soba or somen, but
  linguine will work just as well.
  
  BRING LARGE POT of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in food processor or
  blender, combine all ingredients except noodles and process until
  smooth. Transfer sauce to large bowl.
  
  When water boils, add noodles and stir to prevent sticking. Cook
  noodles according to package directions or until al dente. Drain,
  rinse under cold running water and drain again.
  
  Transfer noodles to bowl with sauce and toss to coat. Cover and
  refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 3 hours. Toss again
  before serving.
