Ingredients

3 medium garlic cloves, minced
6 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
¾ teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
¼ cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons salt
1 pound penne pasta
8 ounces broccoli florets
1 pound rare deli roast beef, sliced 1/8 inch thick and cut into bite-size strips
3 medium carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into bite-size strips
2 cups bean sprouts
3 green onions, thinly sliced
½ cup chopped roasted (or honey-roasted) peanuts
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

Mix garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, ginger, and pepper flakes in a 2-cup Pyrex measuring cup. Whisk in mayonnaise until smooth, then in a slow steady stream, whisk in oil to make an emulsified dressing; keep chilled until ready to toss with salad. Store in a clean jar with lid.
Bring 1 gallon of water and 2 tablespoons of salt to boil in a large soup kettle. Add pasta and, using package times as a guide, boil, stirring frequently and adding broccoli the last 1 minute, until just tender. Drain thoroughly (do not rinse) and dump onto a large, lipped cookie sheet. Set aside while preparing remaining salad ingredients.
Place all salad ingredients (except soy-ginger dressing) in a large bowl or transfer to a gallon-size zipper bag. (Can be covered and refrigerated several hours at this point). When ready to serve, add dressing; toss to coat and serve.

Time 40m

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1/3 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
8 ounces dried fusilli
4 ounces thickly sliced roast beef, cut into thin strips
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions

Steps:

Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and cool to room temperature. Stir in the lemon juice and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook the asparagus in the boiling water until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the asparagus to a colander with a slotted spoon and run under cold water to stop the cooking process. Add to the bowl with the garlic oil.
Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool; add to the bowl.
Add the roast beef and scallions to the bowl and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. The pasta salad is best if served right away.
