SESAME NOODLE SALAD

Sesame Noodle Salad image

I got this recipe from a good friend years ago. It's simple, easy, cheap, and addictive! What more could you want ? I've also added leftover cooked, sliced chicken or pork and crisp-steamed veggies such as bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, etc. to make this a one-dish meal, doubling the dressing amounts.

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

8 ounces capellini
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper
3 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1/4 cup chopped green onion, tops and bottoms
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts

Steps:

Cook capellini to "al dente" stage.
Don't overcook, as noodles will soften as they absorb dressing.
Set noodles aside.
Heat oil, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper over medium heat about 2 minutes; stir in honey, soy sauce and salt and bring just to a simmer.
Toss warm dressing with cooked pasta and refrigerate, covered, 4 hours or more to allow flavors to blend.
Just before serving, toss in cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds and peanuts.
