Today's recipe is for the Spicy Sesame Noodles that are popular at The Carving Board, a restaurant in Thruway Shopping Center.
Kelly Lichtenhan of Lewisville requested the recipe.
"I have tried lots of variations of this recipe but never quite get it close to the Carving Board's," she said.
Alex Lawson, a co-owner of The Carving Board, was gracious enough to share the recipe. The Carving Board uses round, spaghetti-like Chinese noodles for this dish, such as lo mein.
