Vegetable Noodle Salad With Sesame Vinaigrette Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the udon noodles as the label directs; drain and let cool. Meanwhile, cook the edamame as the label directs; drain and let cool.
• Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat and oil the grates. Add the scallions and cook, turning, until charred, about 3 minutes. Let cool, then slice.
• Make the dressing: Whisk the tahini, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and ginger in a large bowl. Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons water to make a smooth sauce.
• Add the noodles and edamame to the dressing along with the bean sprouts, carrots and snow peas; toss. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for a cold salad.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Prepare the vegetables: trim, seed, peel as necessary and cut into bite-size pieces. Reserve in a container until ready to use.

• Whisk together the sesame oil and tahini, sugar, soy, ginger, vinegar, hot oil and pepper in a large bowl. Thin the sauce with hot water until it's about the consistency of heavy cream; you will need 1/4 to 1/2 cup per serving; store as desired.
