Sesame Noodles Amongst Roasted Duck, Saccharide Snap Peas Too Cabbage
Ingredients:
for the sauce:
1/4 loving cup Chinese "pure" sesame paste*
1/4-1/3 loving cup water
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon lite dark-brown sugar
2 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce
1/2 tablespoon hot sesame oil
everything else:
12 oz broad egg "lo mein" noodles
1 1/2 cups sliced cold, roasted duck
10 oz saccharide snap peas (raw or lightly steamed)
three scallions, cutting into 1/4 inch pieces
1/4 pocket-size cabbage, thinly sliced
sesame seeds
Directions:
for the sauce: (can move made a few hours ahead of time)
Place all ingredients inward a blender, blend until a smooth, pourable sauce forms, adding additional H2O if needed.
for the noodles:
Cook according to packet instructions, add together a pair drops of hot sesame crude to continue them from sticking as well as let to cool.
for the salad: (minutes earlier serving)
In a large bowl, toss together the noodles, cabbage, scallions, as well as sauce. Top alongside sliced duck, snap peas as well as sesame seeds.
*It's made from roasted whole white sesame seeds. Purchase at Chinese grocery stores or online. Tahini isn't quite the same (it is made from unhulled, raw sesame seeds as well as has a dissimilar season profile) precisely tin move used alongside tasty, if non quite every bit intended results. If using tahini, I propose adding a drizzle of toasted sesame crude to the sauce every bit you lot mix it.
My thoughts:
It's been ages since I've made sesame noodles. I'll admit, I posted a fairly like recipe a pair of summers agone as well as thus you lot aren't imagining things if this looks familiar to you lot precisely I made it i time again as well as tweaked it to move to a greater extent than winter-appropriate. Sugar snap peas are available year-round instantly (I hollo back the ones I bought were grown inward a greenhouse?) as well as add together a lot compaction as well as an appreciated let on from wintertime squash. I dear cabbage as well as thus I tossed it inward raw for fifty-fifty to a greater extent than crunch. I also went alongside wider, dried noodles this time. I taste fresh noodles a lot precisely these are much easier to notice (all of my local supermarkets demeanour them) as well as since they are shelf-stable, I don't convey to invention ahead as well as thus much to brand this dish.
Having leftover duck is a luxury, I know! I genuinely heated upwards a frozen one-half duck component subdivision (look for these inward to a greater extent than high-end supermarkets) vs roasting a whole duck myself because it was our dejeuner for our New Year's Eve game subject (duck is game meat!) as well as I didn't convey the fourth dimension or energy. It makes the perfect amount for 2 people to convey hearty portions. If you lot don't convey duck, leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken would move slap-up or fifty-fifty tofu or steamed shrimp.
The leftovers (or invention for this) are slap-up for packing for mutual frigidity lunches too. Even though it's mutual frigidity out, it's okay to swallow approximately mutual frigidity food.
It's a genuinely satisfying repast as well as every fourth dimension I brand it, I wonder why I don't larn inward to a greater extent than oft as well as how slowly it is.
