Sesame Noodle Salad Recipe
I would highly recommend making them at least 6 hours before and preferably 24 hours. The noodles absorb the "sauce" and the flavors meld.
Ingredients
- 1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
- 1/4 cup sesame oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce, or more to taste
- 1/8 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon hot chili oil
- 1/8 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp. minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, or more if desired
- 2 green onion, chopped
- 1/2 red bell pepper, diced
Directions
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
- Whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili oil, garlic and sugar in a large bowl. Toss the pasta in the dressing, then sprinkle with sesame seeds, green onion, and bell pepper. Serve warm, or cover and refrigerate for a cold salad. *I prefer it cold as it really does get better the next day!
