I know that tomatoes aren't usually found in an Asian style salad but I love the taste and color of them so I used them. I really liked this salad cause it's different and has great sesame flavor.
9 oz. pasta (I used a package of fresh angel hair)
3 T. soy sauce (reduced sodium is best)
2 T. peanut or other oil
3 T. sesame oil (the dark toasted type)
1 T. rice vinegar
1 T. honey
2 T. toasted sesame seeds*
1 T. ginger, finely minced
Sliced red or yellow peppers, green onions, etc. (whatever you have and like)
Whisk together the soy sauce and remaining 6 ingredients. Boil the pasta according to package instructions. Drain pasta and transfer to a bowl. Toss with the sauce. Add sliced red and yellow peppers, cherry tomatoes cut in half, and a handful of sliced green onion. Season with salt, if necessary. Serve hot or cold.
You can use any combination of vegetables you like!
*You can buy sesame seeds already toasted or just heat them in a non-stick skillet until they just start to get fragrant and turn a light brown. Never, ever turn your back on any seed or nut you are toasting cause the minute you do, they burn. Just a fact.
