Asian noodle salad with peanut butter dressing
This spicy-yet-slightly-sweet vegetarian noodle salad is flavored with an Asian-style dressing of dark sesame oil enriched with peanut butter. Fresh lime and spicy chili paste enliven the dressing further.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Chinese-style wheat noodles
- 2 Tbsp esame oil, plus more for drizzling on just-cooked noodles
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1/4 cup lime juice (approx juice from 2 limes)
- 1 Tbsp Asian-style chili paste
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 cup firm tofu, cut into small cubes
- 1 cup bean sprouts
- 1 cup finely shredded carrots
- fresh cilantro leaves
Instructions
1
Cook noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and rinse in cold water. Toss noodles in a few dashes of sesame oil to prevent sticking.
