  2. Make the sesame sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, tamari, rice vinegar, honey, peanut butter, garlic, ginger, and chili flakes until smooth.
  3. Combine: Place the cooled noodles in a large bowl. Pour the sesame sauce over them and toss thoroughly until evenly coated.
  4. Add vegetables: Add the carrot, cucumber, and green onions. Toss gently to combine.
  5. Garnish: Sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired.
  6. Serve: Serve immediately or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes for a refreshing cold noodle dish.

Notes

Rinse the rice noodles with cold water after cooking to keep them springy and prevent them from sticking together.
