Number Of Ingredients 17

for dressing:
3-5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup seasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 Tbsp dark sesame oil
2/3 cup soybean or canola oil
for salad:
1/2 lb. cocktail shrimp, precooked
1 pkg Bean Thread noodles
1 cucumber, peeled and seeded
1 head of leaf lettuce
1 cup red cabbage, shredded
1 cup carrots, julienned
1 cup sliced red bell pepper
1/2 cup fresh whole leaf cilantro
1 bunch of scallions, thin sliced
toasted black sesame seeds for garnish

Steps:

  • Fill large bowl with hot tap water (as hot as you can get it). Add noodles to water and let soak for 15-20 minutes. In a blender, add garlic, vinegar and lemon juice and blend at high speed. Add sesame oil to canola oil and drizzle slowly into blender to form emulsion. In a large salad bowl toss chopped leaf lettuce, cabbage, cilantro and enough dressing to coat. Drain noodles and rinse with cold water. Drain again shaking out as much water as possible. Add enough dressing to coat noodles and toss. Arrange noodles on top and in center of greens. Arrange vegetable toppings around noodles, shrimp in the center and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions.
