Time 25m

Yield 5 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb chinese noodles
3 1/2 tablespoons sesame oil
3 1/2 tablespoons black soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon hot chili oil
4 teaspoons green onions, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon green onion, garnish

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drain immediately in a colander and chill thoroughly under cold running water.
  • Shake off excess water, then return the noodles to a clean dry bowl.
  • Blend the seasonings in a small bowl.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the noodles, using a handful of noodles to wipe the bowl clean so you don't lose any of the sugar.
  • Toss gently with your hands to separate the noodles and distribute the sauce, then add the green onions and toss again to mix.
  • NOTES:.
  • Remember that the chili will grow more pronounced within a few hours, so err on the cautious side if you are not eating the noodles immediately.
  • For best flavor, cover and put aside for several hours at room temperature or store overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Toss before eating to redistribute the seasonings.
  • Garnish with green onion slices.
  • These last 4 to 5 days, sealed airtight and refrigerated. Flavor peaks in spiciness on the second day.

CHINESE NOODLE SALAD



Chinese Noodle Salad image

I got this recipe from the back of a packet of Chang's Fried Noodles. It's so easy and tasty and a real hit. You can use any other Asian fried noodles or even two minute noodles if you can't find Chang's Fried Noodles. I prefer to use pine nuts in this recipe.
