"[Photograph: Yasmin Fahr] Note: For the noodles, typically Chinese egg noodles (what you find in lo mein) are used, but you could also get away with a linguine, spaghetti, or ramen noodle in a pinch. For crushing the peanuts, my go-to method is placing the nuts in a clean dish towel, covering them and then using a small skillet to gently smash them. I'm sure there's some fancy gadget that does this for you, but I kind of enjoy the process. Up to you! About the Author: Yasmin Fahr is a food lover, writer, and cook.
