Asian Noodle Salad! This is a very good recipe....
Spaghetti (cooked according to instructions).
****Rinse thoroughly with cold water to stop the pasta to continue cooking after it's taken from the heat - this is important.
Cold pasta. That's the secret to keeping your pasta from soaking up all the dressing. Set aside.
Prepare all the veggies (and meat), you'd want to put into it. Cucumbers, carrots, celery, peppers etc...,
here's the killer-dressing:
2 cups 7-up (not diet)
3/4 cup vinegar
Brown sugar (amount depends how sweet you want it to be)
Garlic, chopped finely (and pounded if you can) I put lots of it because I just love garlic.
Soya sauce
salt
hot pepper flakes
ground black pepper
Sesame oil
Boil the dressing ingredients in a pot for a few minutes. Taste and adjust it to your liking.
Thicken with 2 tbsps corn starch. Remove from heat. Add sesame oil and set aside to cool.
When it's cool, add it to the spaghetti and veggies. If you made a lot, mix it by hand. Mix thoroughly. Keep in the fridge.
After a couple of hours, mix it again. Ready to serve in an hour. It keeps longer due to the dressing.
Toss it before serving, as there's dressing at the bottom.
