A crunchy salad: hot peanuts make a tasty topping with cold noodles.
1) Preheat oven to 400F for toasting seeds and nuts.
2) Cook noodles. Drain and refresh in cold water, drain again.
3) Mix noodles with the prepared vegetables.
4) Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, then toss into the noodle mixture. (Can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated; return to room temperature while you toast seeds and nuts.) 5) Using separate cookie sheets, spread seeds and nuts in a single layer.
Toast seeds 5 minutes; toast nuts for 10 minutes or until evenly browned.
6) To serve: toss the noodle mixture and plate; top with seeds; top with peanuts. Garnish.
