so the first thing I want to make for my
lunch today by getting facial is a
crunchy noodle salad with lots of Asian
spices so I'm going to start with thin
pasta actually like thin spaghetti for
seems to absorb the flavor the best go
down the bowl okay the next thing is
sugar snap pea it's about a pound I'm
going to salt the water and then blanch
them for about 3 to 5 minutes just until
they're crisp tender okay first guy is
going to the salad and the red peppers
and the next thing is the sugar snap
peas shock them first which means take
them out of the boiling water putting
them ice water stop the cooking really
sets the color and it stops them from
getting overcooked just takes a second
[Music]
perfect just make sure they're really
cold and they are right into the salad
it's really cold
okay now this soft got great flavor okay
the first name is called a vegetable oil
I don't use olive oil here because I
want the other Asian flavors come out I
wanted it clear oil no flavor
in total a quarter of a cup of rice wine
vinegar you find this in the Asian
section means grocery store third of a
cup of soy sauce 3 tablespoons of
toasted sesame oil this is a clear one
takes the one that's the dark one and
it's got lots of flavor one tablespoon
of honey give it a little sweetness and
to close the chaff garlic so what's the
spoon of grated ginger
if you want to hatter you can always put
more in okay and this is a good step 1/2
cup of peanut butter that's really what
gives it sort of an Indonesian flavor
and you want to use smooth peanut butter
and then just whisk it all together you
can make the sauce way in exam and you
can make the salad in advance but not
too far because actually the soy sauce
will break down the noodles I think the
less I'm going to put in the sauce is
some toasted sesame seeds I trusted them
in a dry pan just put about two
tablespoons in we've saved the rest to
decorate the salad okay right on the
salad so this is the warm noodles is
spaghetti tin spaghetti and the
scallions sugar snap peas red peppers
toss it all together I like lots of
sauce on it
you some chopped parsley such a rough
chop and then some more sesame seeds so
it looks like sesame perfect
