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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or shrimp. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

This salad was a disappointment. The noodles were overcooked and the vegetables were limp.

I love this salad! It's so refreshing and flavorful. I've made it several times and it's always a hit with my friends and family.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili sauce or omitting it altogether.

I'm not a big fan of cold noodles, but this salad was actually really good. The dressing is amazing and the vegetables are nice and crisp.

This salad is a perfect summer dish. It's light and refreshing, and it's packed with healthy vegetables.

I would have liked the dressing to be a little more flavorful. Maybe I'll add some extra spices next time.

I used a different type of noodle than the recipe called for and it turned out great. This salad is very versatile and can be customized to your taste.

This was just okay. The noodles were a bit bland and the salad overall was just kind of boring.

I've made this salad several times and it's always a hit. The dressing is so good that I often use it on other salads as well.
