Singapore Noodle Salad
Recipe from Stephanie da Silva
- 1/4 cup sesame seeds
- 1/2 lb dried chinese spaghetti-style noodles
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 bunch broccoli, separated into 1 inch florets
- 1 lb 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 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp dry sherry
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp chinese chili sauce
- 1/4 cup minced scallions
- 2 tbsp 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 tbsp 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.
