The completed dish (aka, my lunch)

Explanation for the name.  I'm not Chinese, this dish is not Chinese, but it's based on something you can get from Chinese restaurants, usually called "Cold (or Warm) Sesame Noodles."  It's not always available, if the restaurant doesn't carry the sauce.  This is a poor-student's version of it, based in part off of a posting in a livejournal community called poor-skills.  One suggestion for cheap noodles was using ramen, but without the season packet.  So, name and ingredients explained.   Enjoy.
There are only approximate quantities listed as I usually use this as guidelines and will vary precise amounts depending upon mood and what's in the 'fridge.

ingredients

Poor Trynese Sate

ingredients:
1 "serving" noodles (a package of ramen noodles, short narrow egg noodles, nest of oriental narrow or lo mein noodles)
1tsp commercial sate sauce (supermarkets are starting to carry this)
1 tbs peanut butter
2-3 drops sesame oil
2 tbs soy sauce
(optional for warm version)
1/4 cup leftover meat
(optional)
1 tbs to 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts, chopped

If you're using ramen or other long noodles, break them, and cook them according to the directions, if your noodles came with a spice packet, don't include it.  There are 2 reasons for that:
1) the packaged spices are going to interfere with the soy, sate and sesame
2) you get enough sodium already (soy sauce!).

Drain the noodles and put them aside.

If you are making the cold version, mix the peanut butter and soy sauce in the eating bowl until they emulsify, then add the sate sauce, and a drop or two of sesame oil.  Add the noodles, the optional chopped peanuts, mix, garnish with the chopped peanuts and enjoy.

If you are making the warm version, cut up the leftover meat (you can substitute the peanuts) and cook it with the soy sauce, then add the sate sauce, peanut butter and a drop or two of the sesame oil.  Mix and heat until the sauce emulsifies and begins to bubble.  Pull off the heat and add to the noodles, mix, garnish with chopped peanuts if desired, and enjoy.

It's not pretty, but it is edible, and if you pick your ingredients well, the meal costs less than $1
