YUMMMMM
It's been a while since I have tried something new and tonight was the night. As if you couldn't tell, we really like Asian flavors and we are trying to eat lighter. This recipe managed to take care of both!
This is a take on a Guy Fieri recipe. It is tweaked a little of course. I can't seem to resist tweaking...
Soba Noodle Salad
1 9.5 ounce pack of Soba noodles (found at Kroger...who knew?)
Cook according to package, drain and put in an ice bath to cool quickly, then drain again, set aside
dressing
1 teaspoon spicy sesame oil (found at The World Oasis store) you can use regular
2 tablespoons no sodium rice wine vinegar (Kroger)
2 tablespoons low sodium soy (Kroger)
1 teaspoon sriracha (Kroger)
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce (Kroger)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon chili garlic paste (Kroger)
Combine all these ingredients for the dressing
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
6 green onions
1 cup cabbage (I like Nappa)
1/2 red bell pepper
Cut the veggies thinly or to whatever size you like.
Combine the veggies and cold noodles and pour the dressing over them. Dish up and garnish with whatever you like. We like unsalted peanuts so that is what we use. If you like toasted sesame seeds or some other nut go for it!!
I really liked the heat on this dish. My mouth was on fire while eating it but I did not break out into a sweat. And within twenty minutes of finishing there was no heat evident. And it wasn't just heat, the flavors were top notch. Absolutely a do-over!!! Next time I might add some flank steak to the mix but other than that, I won't change a thing.
Satisfied!!!
