<strong>Rainbow</strong> <strong>Peanut</strong> <strong>Noodles</strong><br />

I'm invited to neighborhood parties not for my witty conversation but for<br />

my peanut noodles. In fact, I started a craze when I served this noodle<br />

salad at a street gathering. Everyone demanded the recipe and soon it<br />

appeared in different forms at every neighborhood get-together. The spicy<br />

peanut dressing is superb on almost any salad. During the summer, I keep<br />

extra on hand and always have a package of noodles and some vegetables<br />

in my refrigerator for a cool, ready-in-minutes meal.<br />

1/2 pound thin noodles, such as linguine, cooked until just tender, rinsed under cold water, drained,<br />

and tossed with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil<br />

5 carrots, peeled and grated<br />

2 English (seedless) cucumbers, peeled,<br />

halved lengthwise, seeded, shredded, and squeezed dry 2 cups bean sprouts, rinsed and drained<br />

1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into thin strings (about 1 cup)<br />

2 cups sliced cooked chicken (cut into thin strips)<br />

1-1/2 tablespoons minced scallion greens<br />

Chinese <strong>Peanut</strong> Dressing (below)<br />

1. Arrange the noodles in a large serving bowl.<br />

Sprinkle the scallions on top.<br />

3. Serve at room temperature or chilled, with the Chinese peanut dressing.<br />

Chinese <strong>Peanut</strong> Dressing<br />

My refrigerator would seem empty without a batch of this all-purpose peanut butter-based sauce. I<br />

serve it with vegetable and noodle salads, and as a go-with-anything dipping sauce.<br />

One 1/2 inch-thick slice fresh ginger, peeled<br />

and sliced in half<br />

8 cloves garlic, peeled<br />

1 teaspoon hot chile paste,or more to taste<br />

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter, or more if necessary<br />

1/4 cup soy sauce<br />

3-1/2 tablespoons sugar<br />

3-1/2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar<br />

or Worcestershire sauce<br />

3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil<br />

5 tablespoons Chinese Chicken Broth or water,<br />

or more if necessary<br />

In a food processor fitted with the metal blade or in a blender, finely chop the ginger and garlic. Add<br />

the remaining ingredients in the order listed and process until smooth. The dressing should be the<br />

consistency of heavy cream. If it is too thick, add more water or chicken broth; if too thin, add more<br />

peanut butter. Refrigerated, in a covered container, the dressing will keep for 2 to 3 weeks.<br />

Makes about 1-3/4 cups<br />
