ASIAN NOODLE SALAD



Asian Noodle Salad image

I found this recipe online and have made it several times. It is a big hit. I tripled it the first time I made it, so I had to adjust all the recipe measurements to taste.

Provided by Cathy17

Categories     Asian

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
4 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons hot red pepper flakes (to taste for your spicy level)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
3/4 lb thin linguine
1 cup coarsely shredded carrot
1 red pepper, sliced
1 green pepper, sliced
3 scallions or 3 green onions, cut crosswise into thirds and thinly sliced lengthwise
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted

Steps:

  • Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger.
  • Cook linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool.
  • Toss with dressing, carrot, scallions, red pepper, green pepper and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
  • Cooks' note: Toast seeds in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring until fragrant and a shade or two darker or toast in a shallow baking pan in a oven, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Do the night before to allow the salad to marinate.
  • Store in a plastic container in the fridge and shake it occasionally to coat the entire salad.
  • Some of the measurements should be adjusted to taste if you double or triple it (i.e., those who don't like the salty taste of soy sauce should decrease it).
  • This is awesome and it is a real party and/or BBQ hit.

ASIAN RICE NOODLE SALAD

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD QUICK AND EASY VERSION



Asian Noodle Salad Quick and Easy Version image

I concocted this while in a pinch over not having all the ingredients on hand for my traditional Recipe #39439 to take to a potluck. I remembered I had Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame Dressing and Marinade on hand and how much it resembled the dressing in my other recipe. I made this very quickly and it was completely devoured at the potluck. I had many requests for the recipe. This recipe is potluck size, but you can adjust it to the size of your family or number of desired servings. One pound of spagetti gave about 30 servings and it was ALL gone. Not a drop left.
