16oz.angel hair pastaor any thin pasta, ie. capellini, somen noodles
4Tchopped cilantro
1/2cupchopped lightly salted roasted peanuts or honey roasted peanuts
1/2cupsliced green onions2 T for garnish
2Ttoasted white sesame seedsyou could throw in black sesame seeds too!
Instructions
Heat pepper in oils over med/high heat for 1-2 minutes (the longer, the hotter! I usually half the amount of red pepper flakes called for). Cool oils, add honey and soy sauce and stir to combine. Cook pasta according to instructions. Do not overcook noodles! Pour sauce over noodles, add cilantro and onions and chill for 24 hours.
Garnish with peanuts, sesame seeds and additional green onions before serving
Perfect for summer! Toasted pine nuts or cashews can be substituted for the peanuts.
Notes
Japanese Rice Wine Vinegar is not in the original recipe but I think it needs a hit of acid. In place of 4 T soy sauce you can use 2 T reg soy sauce and 2 T Ponzu-citrus flavored soy.If the dressing is too sweet reduce honey by 1 tablespoon.
