COLD ORIENTAL NOODLE SALAD PANCIT CANTON



Cold Oriental noodle Salad pancit canton image

In my quest to add more oriental recipes, I ran across a few recipes for a cold noodle salad. I had several gatherings to attend so decided to make some. Since it does not have to be warmed up or kept cold, it is perfect for a picnic. Oriental flavors blended to perfection! I took Corinne Trangs recipe and gave it my own touches. Super simple and very flavorful! It is WELL worth ordering the canton pancit noodles pictured, but Ramen noodles will work in a pinch. Also, if tahini paste is not available, peanut butter will work. Both of these changes will effect the taste however.

Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound(s) pancit canton noodles (or ramen noodles in a pinch)
SAUCE:
1/4 cup(s) rice wine vinegar
3 tablespoon(s) tahini sesame paste (or peanut butter)
3 tablespoon(s) soy sauce good quality
2 tablespoon(s) honey
1 tablespoon(s) sesame seed oil
ANY VEGETABLES YOU WANT: IDEAS:
- sesame seeds to taste (about 1 tablespoon or more)
2 - green onions, sliced (or chives)
- pea pods cut diagonally
- shredded carrots
- cucumbers, sliced thin
- red sweet peppers
- any vegetable to suit you!
- meat if you want

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil. Boil noodles until cooked. (about 4 minutes for the canton noodles. (You could even use ramen noodles, cook about 3 minutes) Do not over cook the noodles! Rinse immediately with cold water to stop the cooking process. Get the noodles cold! Put aside.
  • Mix all sauce ingredients together. Combine noodles and sauce and toss very well to coat all noodles. They will absorb the sauce.
  • Now add any vegetable to your liking. I like cucumber,carrot,pea pods and chives. But really, anything will work! Top with sesame seeds ( I used plum sesame seeds, but any will do)
  • This stays so well on the buffet table! Lasts the whole party long. And it is something different to bring to your next gathering. Inexpensive as well, and serves quite a few! Left overs are great the next day. I didnt have leftovers, so I whipped up a batch for home and the next day it is still wonderful.

COLD CHINESE NOODLE SALAD

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     easy, salads and dressings

Time 15m

Yield 2 to 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces Chinese egg noodles, preferably fresh
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
3 tablespoons brewed tea or water
2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame seed paste (see note)
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 tablespoon dry sherry
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
2 garlic cloves, mashed to paste
Half-inch piece fresh ginger, finely minced
1 1/2 teaspoons chili oil
Freshly ground black pepper
Chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Cook noodles in boiling water for 2 to 4 minutes, testing frequently so they don't overcook. Drain well and toss with sesame oil. Cover and refrigerate up to 2 days ahead.
  • Combine remaining ingredients except green onion and mix well. (Sesame paste often separates and can be difficult to recombine. Paste and some oil can be processed in food processor with steel knife. Add garlic and ginger, and while paste is being blended, garlic and ginger will be finely minced.) Refrigerate for up to a week. Before serving, return to room temperature.
  • To serve, mix sauce with noodles and serve topped with green onion.
