Boil the @spaghetti{350%g} in well-salted water until just tender, then drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water until fully cooled. ~{8%minutes}

Whisk the @peanut butter{3%tbsp} with 3 tablespoons of hot water until smooth and pourable, then whisk in the @soy sauce{3%tbsp}, @rice vinegar{2%tbsp}, @sesame oil{2%tbsp}, @garlic{2%clove} and @sugar{1%tbsp}.

Toss the cooled noodles with most of the sauce until every strand is coated.

Divide the noodles between bowls and top with @cucumber{1}, @carrot{1} and @spring onion{2%stalk}.

Drizzle with the remaining sauce and a thread of @chili oil{1%tbsp} if using, then scatter with toasted @sesame seed{1%tsp}.

Serve cold or at room temperature; loosen with a splash of water if the sauce has thickened while sitting.
