ASIAN CARROT NOODLE SALAD
I wanted to make something that my picky DD would eat on a night when I was trying to make Japanese food. So I paired two of her favorite foods! I used green vegetable flavored noodles I got from my local Asian market, but you can use linguini or even spaghetti.

Steps:
- Depending on your noodles, you may need to start cooking them before or after you slice the carrots. Mine only take 5 minutes so I did them afterwards.Regardless start boiling your water for them now.
- Wash and peel your carrots. With your vegetable peeler make long carrot "noodles". This is the bulk of the prep time. If I find an easier way to do this, I will amend this recipe.
- Sprinkle the carrot peels with salt to draw out moisture. In a few minutes they will be quite limp (like cooked noodles). If you are using fast cooking noodles, now would be the time to cook them.
- Mix the last three ingredients.
- Mix the limp carrot strips, the cooked and drained noodles, and the sauce mixture.
- Refrigerate at least one hour before serving(the cook time listed), but can be made as much as 24 hours ahead of time.

Steps:
- For the salad: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse and let cool.
- Mix together the cooked spaghetti, carrots, peppers, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, napa cabbage, purple cabbage and kale. Add the peanuts and toss together.
- For the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and mix together with tongs or your hands. If the salad seems a little dry, just mix up a little more of the wet ingredients of the dressing and throw it in. It's a very organic process.

I got this recipe from the cook at my favorite Thai restaurant in Cincinnati. His carrot salad was one of his most popular salads/appetizers, people would buy multiple orders to go so they could bring this as a take along dish to an event. This is even better made a day ahead.
