iso soybeans : Noodles and

[Guest guest]

Here's one we like. And it's a basic. Just vary with seasonal veggies and

pastas.

 

I can't seem to find the carrot vinaigrette recipe from moosewood - likely

has a different name -- it's a good one. -patH

Noodle Salad with Diced Peppers, Basil and Cilantro

 

Recipe By : Hanneman 07/29/98(Wed)

Serving Size : 2 Preparation Time :0:25

Categories : 4Star Pasta

Salads Soy Products

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup fresh green soybean pods

called Edamame -- may be frozen

1/2 cup frozen peas

3/4 cup wide egg noodles

1/4 cup finely chopped green bell pepper

1/4 cup finely chopped red bell pepper

2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion

1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

roasted chicken breast meat; shredded -- optional

2 tablespoons Thai Ginger Garlic Vinaigrette -- see note

salt and black pepper

2 tablespoons chow mein noodles

 

First the soy beans, then the peas and the pasta will be cooked in the same

pot.

 

Heat a pot of water for the pasta. When the water comes to the boil, add

the fresh frozen soy bean pods; return to a boil and cook for about 8 mins.

Remove with a slotted spoon or sieve to a bowl of ice water. Set aside to

chill. Shell.

 

Meanwhile, when the water returns to a boil, add the frozen peas. When the

water returns to a boil, add the pasta. Boil until pasta is just tender (6

minutes). Remove the pasta and peas with a sieve to a bowl of ice water.

Drain. Transfer to a large bowl that will hold all of the salad. Moisten

the noodles and peas with the vinaigrette. Add the shelled soy beans,

diced vegetables and chopped herbs. Add leftover chicken if using. Adjust

salt and pepper to your taste. Moisten with more vinaigrette, if desired.

Serve in wide bowls, topped with chow mein noodles.

 

With chicken: [Per Serving: 343 cals, 11g fat (28%cff), 122mg sodium, 31g

carbs]. Without chicken: [Per Serving: 253 cals, 10g fat (33%cff), 68mg

sodium, 31g carbs]

 

NOTE: the vinaigrette may be doubled if using left-over chicken breast and

the chicken is dry. Fresh green soy beans are called Edamame. 1/2 cup has

90 cals, 5g total fat.

 

VARIATION: try moosewood's carrot ginger dressing with this salad. I think

you too will like it.
