Just try it and see if shrimp would be good to add . . .
Spicy Vegetarian Peanut Noodle Salad Ingredients: 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter 1 tablespoon sesame oil 1/3 cup rice or red wine vinegar 1 tablespoon red chile flakes 1 tablespoon sugar 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 1 tablespoon coarse ground coriander 2 tablespoons naturally brewed soy sauce 1/2 cup canola oil 1 pound spaghetti, cooked and refreshed 1 English cucumber, halved and 1/8-inch slices 1 red bell pepper, julienned 1 bunch scallions, sliced 1/2 cup chopped roasted (salted) peanuts for garnish.
Directions: In a bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, sesame oil, vinegar, chile, sugar, Dijon, coriander and soy until smooth. Whisk in the canola oil and check for seasoning. In a large bowl, toss dressing with the pasta, cucumbers, bell pepper and scallions. Check for seasoning. PLATING: Serve in large serving
I used thin Japanese noodles instead of the spaghetti called for in the recipe. I didn't have plain sesame oil, so used the chili sesame oil that I already had.
I adjusted quantities of the sauce ingredients as I mixed them up, so you can try anything.
After mixing all this together as the directions said, I think that I will mix the sauce with the noodles along with the onions then maybe put the cucumbers and pepper on the side.
