Serving Ideas : Dip for raw vegetables. Sauce for steamed vegetables.

 

NOTES : Spicy dressing shines best when served with a variety of vegetables such

as julienned celery, shredded carrots, thinly sliced cucumber, broccoli and

cauliflower florets, fresh bean sprouts, and thin wedges of plum tomatoes.

 

Try a hot pasta salad: cook sugar snap peas in broth seasoned with soy sauce and

bouillon. When nearly done, add pasta, beans sprouts and diced green onion.

Place shredded napa cabbage in a collander. Pour on the pasta and drain well.

Transfer to a big bowl and toss with peanuts, cilantro, shredded carrot and the

dressing. -Hanneman
