Best 3 Korean Noodle Salad Recipes

JAP CHAE KOREAN GLASS NOODLES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the dang myun noodles, and return to a boil. Cook the noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the noodles have cooked through, but are still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well in a colander set in the sink. Toss noodles with 1 teaspoon of sesame oil. Set aside. Whisk soy sauce and sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic, onion, carrots, and asparagus; cook and stir until the vegetables have softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in green onions and shiitake mushrooms and continue cooking and stirring for 30 seconds. Pour in the soy sauce mixture, then add the noodles. Cook and stir until the noodles are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat and toss with sesame seeds and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.

ASIAN NOODLE SALAD

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.
