The timing is ideal for these cold peanut ginger noodles from Melissa Clark, streaming as we are toward the Fourth of July and all the barbecues and other hangs that come with it. Melissa makes a powerful case for this dish as a side, but you should also consider it as a main. The dressing contains a full cup of crunchy peanut butter, which provides protein, though you could also increase the dressing and toss cubes of seared tofu or shreds of rotisserie chicken in with the noodles.
