Sesame Noodle Salad

"I got this recipe from a good friend years ago. It's simple, easy, cheap, and addictive! What more could you want ? I've also added leftover cooked, sliced chicken or pork and crisp-steamed veggies such as bell peppers, broccoli, snow peas, carrots, etc. to make this a one-dish meal, doubling the dressing amounts."

directions

  • Cook capellini to "al dente" stage.
  • Don't overcook, as noodles will soften as they absorb dressing.
  • Set noodles aside.
  • Heat oil, sesame oil, and crushed red pepper over medium heat about 2 minutes; stir in honey, soy sauce and salt and bring just to a simmer.
  • Toss warm dressing with cooked pasta and refrigerate, covered, 4 hours or more to allow flavors to blend.
  • Just before serving, toss in cilantro, green onions, sesame seeds and peanuts.

  1. i have made this recipe with oodle of noodle instead of capellini and it's very tasty. i also heat all ingredients at once b/c the oil popped out of the pan when i added the soy. very good recipe, thanks for sharing!
     
  2. I absolutely love this recipe, the only thing I've done different is omit the salt. The salt in the soy sauce was plenty enough for me. Thanks for posting a great recipe.
     
  3. Yum-dilly-ishus! Very tasty! Next time I make this I am going to add some raw grated carrot and some red bell peppers to brighten the colour up a tad.
     
  4. I brought this dish to a potluck. It was a hit. The sesame taste is very dominant in this dish. I would recommend using all of the honey, soy sauce, and salt that this recipe calls for. The noodles absorbed some of the salty and sweet flavor when this dish sat. I used about 1/3 less red pepper than this recipe called for and for my taste, it was enough.
