Shrimp & sesame cold noodle salad

 

Ingredients

Dressing:

• 5 Tbs rice vinegar

• 1 Tbs sugar

• 2 Tbs soy sauce 

• 1 tsp ground ginger (or 1 Tbs Thai herb blend tube)

  1 Tbs toasted sesame oil 

Noodles

• 12 ounces uncooked fresh soba noodles, prepare per package directions (or noodle of choice-whole wheat spaghetti, ramen noodles, or rice noodles would be good too)

• 1 medium head of broccoli, chopped into large chunks

  1 pound peeled & deveined shrimp

• 1 1/2 cups roughly chopped fresh cilantroleaves and tender stems (about 1 small bunch) 

• 4 scallions, thinly sliced diagonally 

• Furikake seasoning, for serving (or just toasted sesame seeds or chopped seaweed or chili crunch or chopped jalapeños)

  
  

  Preheat oven to 400 degrees & spread shrimp & broccoli on greased baking sheet. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through

  While broccoli & shrimp are roasting, whisk together dressing. In a large bowl, toss together dressing, cooked noodles, cilantro, & scallions. 

  Once shrimp & broccoli are done, mix those into bowl as well. 

  Can be served warm, but we prefer to chill for at least an hour (leftovers are great the next day too) & serve with choice of toppings.
