I have been really into cold noodle salads lately, so I made this one to take to book club. If you are making it as a side-dish, be warned that it makes a ton (at least 8 servings).
Cold Peanut and Sesame Noodles
Adapted from Mark Bittman
12 oz angel hair pasta
2/3 c peanut butter
2 1/2 T sesame oil
1 tsp fresh ginger, minced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 1/2 T sugar
1 T rice vinegar
3 1/2 T soy sauce
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
1/2 English cucumber, sliced into thin strips
5 scallions, finely sliced
1/2 c frozen edamame, shelled
Prepare the angel hair pasta and frozen edamame according to package directions. Drain.
Combine the peanut butter, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce, and red pepper flakes in a large bowl to make the dressing. Add the noodles and vegetables and toss to coat.
Enjoy!
