I asked Micky a question in her latest shrimp recipe, so I thought I'd post this separately (it did post this in the other topic too so I could probably go delete it there . . .lol).

I got this from the Food Network website . .. so I can't claim it as mine, lol: http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/recipes/recipe/0,,FOOD_9936_13332,00.html

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.

That was quick! I guess you had all in ingredients around since you are cooking all the time.

How did you prepare the shrimp? Grill, saute, boil before tossing with the noodles?

Oh, was I going to post more?? I am going to try an Indian Curry in the crockpot today. I can post that after I do. Meanwhile, maybe you would like to try a "white" chili that I've done a couple of times . . . I liked it but it kept getting hotter and hotter the longer I had it around, lol.
