EASY THAI BASIL-SESAME NOODLES
Steps:
- If using dried noodles, set them to boil while you prepare the Thai-style pesto. If using fresh noodles, boil them afterward, as they only take a couple of minutes to cook. To make the pesto (sauce), place all ingredients (except garnishes) in a food processor. Process well. Taste the pesto for salt and spice. Add more [vegetarian] fish sauce if not salty enough, and more chilli (if using) if not spicy enough. If too salty, add another squeeze of lime juice. Do not warm up this mixture, or it will lose its wonderful flavor and nutrients. When noodles are cooked, drain and immediately toss with the basil-sesame pesto sauce. To serve, garnish with a few leaves of basil and some toasted sesame seeds. Note: to toast your own sesame seeds: Place seeds on a small cookie sheet or pie plate and broil/grill in the oven. Watch the seeds carefully, as they will burn very quickly (seeds are toasted when they turn golden-brown).
