This recipe is adapted from George Lang's book The Cuisine of Hungary.

This Szechwan dish is traditionally made with toasted sesame paste, but peanut butter has been substituted here with good results. One secret of this light but flavorful rendition is to dress the noodles just before serving them.
Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.
