- Singapore Noodle Salad
-
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 pound dried Chinese spaghetti-style noodles
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 bunch broccoli, separated into 1 inch florets
- 1 pound asparagus, cut on the diagonal into 1 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon dry sherry
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese chili sauce
- 1/4 cup minced scallions
- 2 tablespoons finely minced fresh ginger
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup thinly sliced button or shiitake mushrooms, or separated enoki
- 1 large red bell pepper, cut into thin julienne
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
-
- In a small dry skillet, toast the sesame seeds over moderately high heat,
- tossing, until fragrant and golden brown, about 1 minute. Set aside.
-
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles, separating them
- with a fork, until tender but still firm, about 2 1/2 minutes. Drain and
- rinse under cold running water, drain well and toss with the vegetable oil.
-
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the
- broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted
- spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water and chill until cold, about 5
- minutes. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with the asparagus, cooking them
- for only 1 to 2 minutes.
-
- In a small saucepan, bring the stock to a boil over moderately high heat;
- remove from the heat. Stir in the peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce,
- sesame oil, sherry, sugar, chili sauce, scallions, ginger, garlic and
- toasted sesame seeds.
-
- In a large bowl, toss together the noodles, broccoli, asparagus, bean
- sprouts, mushrooms and red pepper. Add the dressing and toss to coat.
- Sprinkle the chives over the top just before serving.
