A cool noodle salad is ideal in the summer when temperatures are warm. Make this 30 minutes version any night of the week for a filling vegetarian meal. The frozen mixed vegetables keep the dish quick to prepare while the easy sesame soy sauce adds great flavor to the noodles and vegetables alike. Add some leftover chicken, beef or pork, if desired. The sesame sauce can be prepared a day ahead and kept refrigerated. Let it warm to room temperature before mixing it with the pasta and vegetables.

Water

⅔ cup(s)

Cornstarch

2 tsp

Garlic

8 oz, thin

Frozen mixed vegetables

1½ package(s), stir-fry style, about 16 oz

Instructions

  1. In small saucepan, stir together water and cornstarch. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; reduce heat and cook until thickened and clear. Remove from heat and add garlic and ginger; set aside to cool to room temperature.
  2. Combine vinegar, peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and red pepper flakes in blender or food processor and purée. Add purée to the cooled cornstarch mixture and whisk until blended. Set aside while preparing pasta and vegetables.
