Sesame noodles with green onions and snow peasThe noodles are a paragon of simplicity - the sauce is just whisked together and tossed with the drained pasta. If you have fresh snow peas handy, just throw them in raw or add to the pasta water a minute or so before the pasta is done.
Chicken shu mai (from Trader Joe's, frozen - not bad!)
The sauce is extremely flexible, too. I often add fresh ginger, or a pinch of chinese mustard, and I usually sub red pepper flakes for the chili oil. I usually sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on the plated noodles, for a nice presentation and a little extra crunch.
We often serve this with grilled chicken, but it's also good with sliced steak, and would be fine with tofu, too.
Hey, that looks yummy. I like a different idea for pasta than the usual. I think the girls will like this. We like the shu mai too, especially when there is nothing else to eat and they are waiting in the freezer.
