Make the Cold Noodles: Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain noodles and soak in ice water while you prepare the sauce.

Make the Sauce: Simply whisk together sesame paste (or peanut butter), sesame oil, brown sugar, black vinegar, soy sauce, and water. Note: most people only regard sesame paste as traditional, but actually peanut butter is traditional too. Peanut butter is a popular choice especially in Southern Taiwan.

To Finish: Drain noodles from the ice bath and toss together with sauce. Top with minced garlic, sesame seeds, and thinly sliced cucumbers. Enjoy immediately.
