Ginger Sesame Miracle Noodle Salad
Ginger, sesame and peppercorns make for a salad with a kick! Recipe by Miracle Noodle Ambassador,
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS:
Half a head of Japanese cabbage, thinly shredded (Leisia uses a cabbage peeler to make it super thin)
1/4 cup organic tamari
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon brown sugar
2 tablespoons white rice vinegar
3 tablespoons pure sesame oil
2 one-inch slices of fresh ginger, chopped well
2 dried chilies, thinly sliced
1/2 Tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
3-4 green onions, thinly sliced
A pinch of maldon sea salt, to taste
1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
DIRECTIONS:
- Prepare Miracle Noodle as per cooking instructions and set aside.
- Shred cabbage and set aside.
- Now it's time to make your sauce! Combine the tamari, garlic, brown sugar, and vinegar in a small bowl and mix it all together.
- Heat the sesame oil in a 3-Quart sauce pan on medium-high heat.
- Add in the ginger, chili, and sichuan peppercorn and mix them around for about 20-30 seconds.
- Add in the Miracle Noodles, pour your sauce on top and toss it together until your noodles are a nice sheer-brown color.
- Remove the noodles from the stove and transfer them into a large salad bowl or mixing bowl (with every bit of sauce, of course)!
- Add in the green onions and shredded cabbage and a pinch of salt to taste and toss until mixed well.
- Serve in a bowl and add sesame seeds as garnish.
NOTE
It's important you mix in the green onions and cabbage AFTER you've taken the noodles off the stove and transferred them into a large bowl to ensure your cabbage doesn't "cook" and gives you a satisfying crunch with every bite!
