VEGETABLE NOODLE SALAD WITH SESAME VINAIGRETTE

Vegetable Noodle Salad With Sesame Vinaigrette image

This pasta salad is bursting with more than two pounds of sweet summer vegetables and brightened by a rich, tangy sesame-ginger vinaigrette. The angel hair pasta is broken into pieces for easy scooping, making it perfect for picnics and potlucks. It's a great make-ahead meal that travels well - and develops even more flavor as it sits. You can prepare it a few hours ahead and keep it at room temperature.

Ingredients

Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
2 teaspoons grated peeled ginger
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 pound angel hair pasta, noodles broken into thirds
2 tablespoons safflower or canola oil
1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 red or yellow medium bell peppers, cored, seeded and sliced lengthwise 1/8-inch thick
8 ounces snap peas, halved lengthwise
8 ounces cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, plus more for garnish
Toasted white sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

Bring a pot of water to a boil, and season generously with salt.
In a small bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, vinegar, ginger and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and mix well.
Once the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta cooking water, then drain. Transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add half the dressing and 1/4 cup pasta water, season with salt and pepper and toss to evenly coat.
Meanwhile, in a large deep-sided saucepan, heat safflower oil over medium. Add onion and bell peppers, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until deep golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add snap peas and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, 1/4 cup pasta water and the remaining dressing. Stir to deglaze the pan and lift the browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, then add vegetable mixture (with sauce) and scallions to pasta and toss until well combined (add more pasta water if thinner sauce is desired). Season with salt and pepper.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Garnish with scallions and sesame seeds, if using.

SOBA NOODLE AND STEAK SALAD WITH GINGER-LIME DRESSING

Soba Noodle and Steak Salad With Ginger-Lime Dressing image

Soba, which are buckwheat noodles common in Japanese cooking, work well for a weeknight meal: They take just a few minutes to cook and can be served warm or at room temperature (which means they make great leftovers). Hanger steak is quickly seared in a drizzle of oil, and once done, the bok choy is cooked in the residual fat left behind, leaving you with one less pan to wash. This flexible dish also works well with seared or grilled shrimp or chicken. Shredded cabbage or tender broccolini could also be swapped in for the bok choy. Soft herbs like basil or cilantro would also be nice. The only thing you need to round out this meal is wine, preferably chilled and pink.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

8 ounces soba noodles
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup lime juice (from 2 limes)
2 teaspoons finely grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon light brown sugar
1 pound hanger or skirt steak, at room temperature
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon canola or grapeseed oil, plus more as needed
8 ounces baby bok choy, halved lengthwise if large
1 cup julienned or thinly sliced carrots
3 to 4 radishes, thinly sliced (optional)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (2 or 3 scallions)
1/4 cup fresh mint, torn
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)

Steps:

Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water, drain well and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil and brown sugar; set aside.
Season the steak well with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canola oil and when it shimmers, add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to get crisp and golden on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. (If you are using skirt steak, you may need to cut it into 2 or 3 pieces to fit in the pan, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes.) Flip and finish cooking, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Set aside and allow the steak to rest while you prepare the rest of the salad.
Turn heat to medium and add the bok choy. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and char in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, adding another teaspoon or so of oil if needed to help if the pan is too dry. Remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, toss the soba noodles, carrots, radishes (if using) and half the scallions. Drizzle with the ginger-lime dressing to taste and divide among plates or in serving bowls. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and top each portion with some of the steak and the bok choy. Scatter the remaining scallions and the mint over top and season with flaky salt, if desired. Serve with any leftover dressing in a small bowl to be passed at the table.

GINGER GARLIC STEAK AND NOODLE SALAD

Ginger Garlic Steak and Noodle Salad image

One of our favorite restaurants makes a beef and noodle dish, and I had to make it my own. I created this salad using some of my favorite ingredients: I love what the heat of the Fresno adds against the sweetness of the mango. I even got my kale in there, too!

2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 pound skirt steak
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lime
4 ounces udon noodles (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup avocado oil or vegetable oil
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon grated garlic
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Juice of 1 1/2 limes
2 cups finely shredded napa cabbage
1 bunch Tuscan kale, stemmed and finely shredded
1 cup carrot ribbons
1 cup whole fresh cilantro leaves
1/2 cup whole fresh mint leaves
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1 Fresno or jalapeño chile, sliced into thin rings
1 cup thinly sliced mango
1/2 cup chopped roasted, salted peanuts
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

For the steak: In a wide, shallow container with a lid, add the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, sugar, ginger, garlic and sesame oil. Whisk to combine. Add the steak and coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours. Remove the steak from the refrigerator to come to room temperature before cooking, about 1 hour.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade, pat dry and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side for medium-rare with an internal temperature of 125 degrees F. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest, about 10 minutes. Squeeze the juice of the lime on the rested steak and slice against the grain.
For the salad: Cook the udon noodles according to the package instructions.
In a small bowl, combine the avocado or vegetable oil, soy sauce, vinegar, honey, mustard, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, salt and lime juice. Whisk thoroughly to combine and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and kale. Add the carrots, cilantro, mint, scallions, chiles and noodles and toss to combine. Add the dressing and toss to coat. Add the mango and gently toss. Sprinkle the salad with the peanuts. Arrange the steak over the salad.
Divide the salad and steak among plates. Serve with lime wedges.
