Number Of Ingredients 10

One 8-ounce package somen noodles
3 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
Grated zest of 1 lime
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts, plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Make dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together ginger, lime zest, lime juice, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisking constantly, add oil in a steady stream until mixture is emulsified; set aside.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add noodles, and cook until al dente according to package instructions, about 6 minutes. Drain in a colander, and transfer noodles to a serving bowl.
  • Add dressing, scallions, and peanuts to noodles; toss to combine. Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled, and garnish with additional scallions and peanuts.
