Sesame Pasta Salad image

Based on the Sesame Pasta Chicken Salad recipe from Allrecipes. I replaced the chicken in the original recipe with cabbage and use coconut sugar for an extra bit of flavor... this is a hit wherever I take it, especially with my vegan friends! I think this tastes better prepared the day before.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup sesame seeds
1 (16 ounce) package pasta
1/3 cup sesame oil (should smell slightly of sesame, light amber color)
1/3 cup light soy sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (should smell strongly of sesame, very dark color)
3 tablespoons coconut sugar crystals (or your sweetener of choice)
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
4 -5 cups shredded cabbage
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup chopped green onion

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sesame seeds, and cook stirring frequently until lightly toasted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente. Drain pasta, and rinse under cold water until cool. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sweetener, sesame seeds, ginger, and pepper. Shake well.
  • Pour sesame dressing over pasta, and toss to coat evenly. Gently mix in cabbage, cilantro, and green onions.

I love the fact that this salad can be made ahead of time. It's perfect for busy weeknights when I don't have a lot of time to cook. I just make the salad in the morning and it's ready to eat when I get home from work.
