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).
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?

i under cooked them on the grill for like 2 minutes on each side then tossed it in the noodles and the heat from the noodles finished cooking them. i hate over cooked shrimp. they were juicy and very tender. and yes i usually have all the ingredients in the house. you know my husband loves to eat , so i have to be equipped with ingreds.

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.
