Ingredients

• 1 (9-ounce package) Gefen Lo-Mein Noodles
• 1 cup (s) thinly sliced green onion
• 1/2 cup (s) fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup (s) store-bought peanut sauce

Directions

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain, rinse with cool water and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine noodles, green onion, cilantro, egg, flour, sesame seeds, sesame oil and salt and stir well. Take a small handful of noodle mixture and form a 2-inch pancake and set on a sheet pan. Continue with remaining until all the pancakes are formed.

Fill a large skillet a 1/4 inch deep with oil and heat over medium to medium-high heat. Fry a few pancakes at a time, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry about 2 minutes per side or until golden and crispy. Remove from pan and place on a sheet pan lined with paper towels. Repeat with remaining pancakes until all have been fried. Serve immediately with peanut sauce.
