ORANGE CHILI NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Place garlic, ginger and vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Over low heat, slowly and gently simmer garlic and ginger, taking care not to brown or burn. Stir frequently, until oil is well-infused with the garlic and ginger, about ten minutes. Remove from heat and let cool; remove garlic and ginger and discard (garlic may be used as a tasty addition to salads or pizza). Make dressing by whisking infused oil, vinegar, soy sauce, honey, orange juice concentrate, chili paste, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add cooked noodles and toss to coat. Add orange zest, bean sprouts and cilantro. Toss again to coat well and chill at least two hours. Toss again before serving, garnishing with additional cilantro sprigs.
