Take the medium cucumber, peel it if necessary (i.e.,

Remove and discard the seeds. Slice (or coarsely

grate) the cucumber into very thin strips.

 

Heat the peanut sauce over a low flame, and add the

noodles to the boiling water. Boil them for 3 MINUTES

Serve in individual bowls, topped generously with

strips of cucumber, minced scallion and chopped nuts.
