  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      pound         spaghetti
     1/4  cup           sesame oil
     1/2  cup           natural style creamy peanut butter
     1/3  cup           tamari soy sauce
   3      tablespoons   sherry
   1      tablespoon    water
   1 1/2  tablespoons   rice wine vinegar
   1      tablespoon    vegetable oil
   1      tablespoon    light brown sugar -- firmly packed
   3      cloves        garlic -- finely minced
   1      teaspoon      ginger root -- minced
     1/2  teaspoon      red pepper flakes -- crushed
   1                    cucumber -- peeled and sliced
   4                    scallions -- thinly sliced

Cook the spaghettini al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Drain very
well again. With your hands, toss the noodles with half of the sesame oil.
Cover and chill until ready to combine with the peanut sauce, or up to 24
hours.

To make the peanut sauce, combine the remaining sesame oil with all the other
ingredients except the cucumber and scallion. Beat until well mixed. The sauce
can be kept in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 24 hours before serving.

Just before serving, gently toss the noodles with the sauce, cucumbers and
half the scallions. Garnish with the remaining scallions.
