   MMMMM--------------------GARNISHES, (OPTIONAL-------------------------   
              Cilantro; chopped   
              Scallions; chopped   
              Chiles; chopped   
              Sesame seeds   
       
     Schezwan Sauce:   
        
     The color and heat of the schezwan paste (and the noodles) depends on   
     the variety of dried chiles. If you use kashmiri chiles, the color   
     would be perfectly deep red.   
        
     Soak the red chiles in 1/3 cup warm water for 20 to 25 minutes.   
     Transfer the soaked chiles to a blender (reserving the water) along   
     with 1 tb sesame oil, garlic, ginger, serrano (if using), tomato   
     paste, sichuan peppers, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and black pepper.   
     Blend to a smooth paste. You could use the reserved water from   
     soaking the chiles if needed but do not use too much.   
        
     Warm up the remaining 2 tb sesame oil in a small sauce pan. Add the   
     onions to it, saute until they soften. Add the blended chile paste   
     and cook for 8 to 10 minutes on medium low heat until you see that   
     the paste changes color to deep red, glistens and oil separating on   
     the sides of the pan. Add the sugar, mix and cook for another minute   
     or so. Put off the heat. Let cool down, transfer to small jar and   
     refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.   
        
     Yield: 1/3 Cup   
        
     Schezwan Noodles   
        
     Cook noodles as per package instructions. Add 2 ts oil and salt to the   
     water when you are boiling the noodles. After you have drained the   
     noodles, rub them with remaining oil and let sit. This is so that the   
     noodles do not stick while you make the sauce.   
        
     In a wok, heat up the 3 tb oil. Add the garlic and let cook until you   
     smell a nice aroma. Take care that it does not burn. Add the white   
     scallion parts next and saute for 1 to 2 minutes until they soften.   
     Next add the vegetables along with a pinch of salt. On medium heat   
     cook until the vegetables soften a bit but are still crunchy.   
        
     Next, add the dark soy sauce along with schezwan sauce. It is hot so   
     add the quantity depending on your taste. Saute for a minute or so.   
     Add the noodles and salt next and toss everything together.   
        
     Add the cooked shrimp, scallion green parts, and vinegar or lime juice   
     next. Combine everything and let cook for a couple of minutes more.   
        
     Serve.
