Best Oriental Noodle Salad With Peanuts Spinach Cabbage Recipes

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and rinse briefly with cool water to remove the excess starch and stop the cooking, then transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the broccoli cole slaw and carrots.
• While the pasta cooks, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, peanut butter, soy sauce, Sriarcha, ginger, and garlic. Pour over the noodle mixture and toss to combine. Add the peanuts and cilantro and toss once more. Serve chilled or at room temperature with additional Sriracha sauce as desired.

• Serve: Garnish salad with additional cilantro leaves, green onions, and chopped peanuts. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.

ORIENTAL NOODLE SALAD WITH PEANUTS, SPINACH & CABBAGE

Steps:

• In large frying pan melt margarine. Coarsely crush the ramen noodles in the package before opening. (Save the flavor packets).
• Add the crushed noodles to the melted butter. Add the peanuts and sprinkle the salt and stir until lightly to dark brown.
• Do not burn. Set aside.
• Throw the shredded cabbage and spinach in large serving plates or bowl. Add radishes and celery. Lightly toss.
• In blender add milk, vinegar, oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, seasoning packets and horseradish sauce if desired. Pulse a few times.
• Spoon the peanut and noodles on the spinach/cabbage mixture and mix or leave on the top.
• Drizzle or spoon the dressing on top.
• Note: I wash all my fresh veges with ice cold water and a dab of bleach. Let them set for a few minutes. Drain the water, rinse the veges and put loose ones in a salad spinner. I have done this since 1963 when we were in another country and I have never stopped. It is safe.

CRUNCHY NOODLE SALAD WITH CABBAGE AND PEANUT SAUCE

If the dressing is still too thick you may add more water. Toss the cabbage mixture with the peanut sauce and place on a large platter. Top with extra crunchy noodles and chopped cilantro.

COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
• Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
• Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
• When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.
