• 2 tablespoons garlic - minced (fresh)
• 3 tablespoons  coriander – minced
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 5 ounces soy sauce – light
• 5 tablespoons sugar
• Rice wine (between 1/2 t to 1 T)
• 1 tablespoon hot bean paste -- (up to 2 T)
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 pound lo mein noodles (other -- noodles will do - ramen noodles or even spaghetti)

Cook the lo mein according to directions.  Let cool.  Mix the rest of the ingredients.  Add the sauce to the noodles.

Hot bean sauce also goes by the name szechuan bean sauce etc.  This is the main “spicy” ingredient and should be handled with care.  Vary this ingredient to taste. This recipe is probably very good without it. It's also quite good served when the noodles are still hot.
