Steps:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt.
- In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
- Once the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add half the dressing and 1/4 cup pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.

Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.
QUICK SAUTEED CURRY STYLE VEGETABLES
No curry sauce or masala sauce to bother with here. Just a quick and easy saute of veggies with a wonderful curry flavor. I used a Malaysian style curry powder in this, but use whatever yellow curry powder you have (Malaysian, Indian, Jamaican, whatever). The flavor of this goes with any of those cuisines, without being of that cuisine itself. Also goes great with simply prepared dishes, such as grilled steak or baked fish or chicken.

Curry fusion vinaigrette. Regarding the curry powder, I mix my own; however, you can use an Eastern-Indian curry mix. I go to a local spice store, The Spice House, they have different selections on their website.

Tips:
- Use fresh, crisp vegetables: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salad will taste. Look for vegetables that are brightly colored and have no blemishes.
- Cut the vegetables into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly and look more appealing in the salad.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp.
- Make the vinaigrette ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make it up to 2 days in advance.
- Taste the vinaigrette before you add it to the salad: Make sure it is well-balanced and not too acidic or too sweet.
- Toss the salad gently: This will prevent the vegetables from becoming bruised.
- Serve the salad immediately: This is when it will be at its best. Leftover salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
