I have been making this recipe since 1998. Everyone enjoys it. It can be served warm or cold. To make it a main dish, I add cooked chicken pieces and prawns.

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 ½ ounces uncooked linguine pasta
9 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut on the diagonal
¼ cup lime juice
3 tablespoons canola oil
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated orange zest
2 small serrano chile peppers, chopped
2 cups carrots, cut into matchsticks
1 cup thinly sliced green onions
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

Fill a saucepan with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, stir in the linguine, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink, and rinse with cold water until the pasta is cool.
Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil, stir in the green beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are bright green and slightly tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain the beans, and rinse with cold water to chill.
In a large salad bowl, combine lime juice, canola oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, garlic, orange zest, and serrano peppers, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Allow the dressing to stand for 30 minutes. Lightly toss in the carrots, green onions, linguini and green beans, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill before serving.

SESAME NOODLE SALAD

Sesame Noodle Salad image

This amazing salad recipe was given to me by a friend who used to know someone at the now closed Larry's Markets in the Seattle area. I've added to the recipe a little -- so it's not exactly the same... but better! I take this to every picnic and everyone loves it! May also add diced chicken for a variation.

SPICY THAI NOODLE SALAD

Spicy Thai Noodle Salad image

This is my favorite cold noodle salad! I loved it so much, we made mass quantities for my wedding. There are some similar recipes out there, but after testing over and over, here is the combination that I think works best. I kept the recipe vegetarian, but I usually add cooked bay shrimp. You can add any kind of meat or veggies!! You can also omit or add more of the cayenne depending on your "spicy tolerance"! You can certainly substitute spaghetti for the Soba noodles, but Soba noodles really work best.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 lb soba noodles
3 tablespoons sesame oil (the oil is strong, don't add more)
4 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
5 red bell peppers, sliced thin and long
4 cups peas (frozen works fine)
16 green onions
1 1/2 cups honey roasted peanuts (leave whole)
1 1/2 cups cilantro, chopped coarse
2 limes, cut in wedges for garnish

Steps:

Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water. Check cooking directions, soba noodles can cook literally in minutes. Drain pasta well. Let pasta dry a bit or water on the pasta will dilute the dressing.
Whisk sesame oil, canola oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegars, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl to blend.
Season with salt.
Heat a few tablespoons of dressing in saute pan over medium high heat (be careful, dressing can burn easily).
Add peppers to pan for about 2 - 3 minutes to ligtly soften, they should still be crunchy.
Add all other ingredients to pasta along with remaining dressing. Mix salad well, you will probably need to use your hands.
Garnish with lime wedges.
Serve right away or chill as long as overnight.
Add peas shortly before serving. If you add them too early they will turn a "lovely" shade of grey.
