Anyone have a tried-and-true sesame peanut noodle recipe? I've tried
several and have modified several more and none of them come out quite
the way I'd like. I'm looking for something that tastes similar to the
Big Bowl (http://www.bigbowl.com/) version, as I recall liking those
fairly well. Thanks!

I have never eaten or even heard of it or Big Bowl for that matter, so

I've made something similar with almond butter I wanted to use up.

tehina *is* bitter. I prefer it on things that have something sweet-ish
(even cooked onions count). I mostly use it to make hummus.

Tahini is special for me used simply (hummus, too, of course)

1. Dip a madjool date in tahini -- rich enough to satisfy anyone's sweet
tooth

2. Use it as you would peanut butter; i.e., peanut butter and bread.
Although I've not eaten peanut butter and jelly in years, I must confess I
do love tahini spread on toast (homemade bread) and sometimes with a bit of
lignonberry jelly (or other berry jelly) -- yum, yum good.
