Cold Chinese-Style Sesame Noodles With Cucumber

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

2 tablespoons dark (Asian) sesame oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar or rice vinegar (not seasoned)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes
6 ounces capellini
1/2 seedless cucumber, cut lengthwise into thin spears and crosswise into
thin slices (about 1 cup)
1 scallion, minced, or 1 tablespoon minced fresh coriander
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted lightly and cooled

In a small bowl stir together oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, salt, and
red pepper flakes until sugar and salt are dissolved. In a large saucepan
of salted boiling water cook capellini until tender and drain in a
colander. Rinse noodles under cold water until cool and drain well. In a
large bowl toss noodles with sauce, cucumber, and scallion or coriander
until combined well and divide between 2 plates. Sprinkle noodles with
sesame seeds.
