Asian Noodle Salad Quick And Easy Version Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together soy sauce, vinegar, oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger.
• Cook linguine in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, then drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool.
• Toss with dressing, carrot, scallions, red pepper, green pepper and sesame seeds in a large bowl.
• Cooks' note: Toast seeds in a dry heavy skillet over moderate heat, stirring until fragrant and a shade or two darker or toast in a shallow baking pan in a oven, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Do the night before to allow the salad to marinate.
• Store in a plastic container in the fridge and shake it occasionally to coat the entire salad.
• Some of the measurements should be adjusted to taste if you double or triple it (i.e., those who don't like the salty taste of soy sauce should decrease it).
• This is awesome and it is a real party and/or BBQ hit.

Steps:

• Boil pasta in salted water til cooked. Drain and run cold water to cool.
• While pasta is cooking, chop onions and carrots. Toss into a large tupperware container.
• Add ginger, garlic and optional red pepper flakes to the carrots and green onions. Stir to mix thoroughly.
• Shake Kraft Asian Toasted Sesame dressing and pour into the carrot/onion/ginger/garlic mixture. Stir to thoroughly coat. Add more or less to your desired coverage. A little goes a long way.
• Once pasta is completely cool, slowly add to the dressing mixture and toss until coated. Add more dressing until coated to your satisfaction/taste. You don't need alot because it has quite a bit of flavour.
• Add more ginger/garlic/red pepper flakes for desired taste. Add sesame seeds.
• Cover with a lid, put in fridge to chill and keep cool until ready to serve. Just before serving you may want to add a bit more dressing to mix around.

Steps:

• For the salad: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti to al dente according to the package directions. Drain, rinse and let cool.
• Mix together the cooked spaghetti, carrots, peppers, bean sprouts, cucumbers, scallions, cilantro, napa cabbage, purple cabbage and kale. Add the peanuts and toss together.
• For the dressing: Whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, oyster sauce, rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, sesame oil and garlic in a medium bowl.
• Pour the dressing over the salad and mix together with tongs or your hands. If the salad seems a little dry, just mix up a little more of the wet ingredients of the dressing and throw it in. It's a very organic process.
• Transfer to a large platter and serve.
