Cool California Sesame Shiitake Noodles





Serves 4





California is known for trend-setting cuisine and much of that is based on the culinary influence of its citizens, including a large Asian population. Here鈥檚 a simple take on a cold noodle salad. Add baked tofu, chicken or shrimp if you wish, but it鈥檚 delish as is!





Ingredients





8 ounces dried capellini pasta*


1 cup frozen shelled edamame*


1 to 2 tablespoons canola oil*


6 ounces fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, sliced


1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil


1 tablespoon soy sauce


2 tablespoons rice vinegar


1 cup julienned carrots and/or red cabbage


2/3 cup thinly sliced green onion


1/4 cup sesame seeds, lightly toasted


Crushed red chile peppers, to taste (optional)


Method





Cook pasta, adding edamame to pot with the pasta when the water boils. Rinse in very cold water, drain and set aside. In a large saut茅 pan, cook mushroom slices in oil over low heat (do not brown). Turn off heat. Add toasted sesame oil, soy sauce and rice vinegar. Toss shiitake sauce with noodles, carrots and/or cabbage and green onions. Serve topped with sesame seeds. Pass red pepper flakes at the table, if desired.
