Shanghai-Ish Cold Noodles

Shanghai-Ish Cold Noodles


1. Blanch your vegetables - drop them in a wire sieve, place the basket into the boiling water for 1 minute, then transfer the vegetables to a bowl of ice water to shock. Repeat with any other vegetables; use the same pot of water for all. Drain thoroughly, pat dry with paper towels, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.

2. Prepare noodles according to package directions. When cooked, transfer to ice water, or rinse under cold running water until cool.

3. Mix dressing in blender, or use immersion blender. If mixing by hand, combine peanut butter (or tahini) and sugar in a bowl. Whisk in liquid ingredients until smooth and homogenous.

4. Combine noodles, additions, and dressing. Toss well and serve cold. Serves 3 as an entree (2 if they're very hungry), 6 as an appetizer/side dish.
