‘I recently read the “make it to taste Chinese noodle salad’ recipe,” Francine Phillips of Camano island writes, “and I have a Chinese noodle salad recipe which is very different from the one printed. I got it from work and it is very good. I like to double or triple the amount of vegetables called for.”
Different Chinese noodle salad
3packages soba noodles (available at most supermarkets, in the Asian foods section on the shelf, or in the produce section)
Boiling water
1/2cup matchstick pieces carrot
1/2cup finely chopped red cabbage
1/4cup toasted sesame seed
1/2cup chopped green onion
1package frozen pea pods, thawed and sliced diagonally
3/4cup soy sauce
1/4cup sesame oil
1tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Asian hot chili sauce
Cook noodles in boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook. Drain and turn into large bowl. Add carrots, cabbage, sesame seed, green onion and pea pods. In small mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil and hot chili sauce, mixing well. Pour over noodles and vegetables and toss lightly but thoroughly to mix. Let stand 1 hour before serving.
SOS: Mountlake Terrace reader Bev Kincade has lost a recipe for a rye bread her husband made using strong coffee.
SOS: With games and turnouts on weeknights and weekends, too, anybody who has ever had or has kids playing Little League Baseball knows what a humongous hassle it is to get a decent meal on the table day in and day out. …
Sure, fast food works to a certain degree, but it’s expensive, for one thing. And it gets tiresome after a while, for another.
Does anybody have a workable solution – meaning ideas, suggestions and/or recipes – to turn this months-long, rewarding but cook-frazzling situation into a quick, can-do daily “dinner’s up, so wash up” drill?
