Sesame Noodle Salad

For lunch one day my mother, cousin Gina and I went and ate at this fabulous little bistro in Mountain Brook called Chaz’ Lulu. Fortunately, I ordered the sesame noodle salad. It was fabulous. It had just enough kick and great flavor. I have also found this dish at the “Feed & Seed Market” in Pelham. It is so light and good for you too. You can make this into a main dish by adding meat, chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.


















Sesame Noodle Salad
1 (8oz) package linguine, cooked according to pkg, and drained with hot water (I prefer to use angel hair pasta in my dish)
¼ C rice vinegar

¼ C soy sauce
¼ C dark sesame oil

1 tsp. sugar
5 green onions, sliced

toasted sesame seeds (optional)
*½ Tsp chili paste (found in Asian section in grocery) 


















Stir together vinegar and soy sauce, oil and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in noodles and onions; sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve hot or cold,or room temp. Perfect for a picnic.

I add chopped carrot and cucmber to mine. If you want a heartier dish, add blackended chicken, shrimp or  beef strips.

*If you cannot find chili paste, I recommend Tuong Ot Sriracha, or as I call "Red Rooster Sauce". This sauce that can be found in the asian food section of the store. You will only need a tsp, or 2...depending on how much heat you like. But even if you use 1/2 tsp, add it bc it adds alot to the dish.
