Wasabi Asian Noodles Recipes

SESAME AND WASABI SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Toss the rice cereal, snap peas, chow mein noodles, almonds and sesame sticks together in a large bowl. Whisk the butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, garlic, five-spice, pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a separate bowl. Pour the sauce over the snack mix and toss to coat well. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the mix is toasted and almost completely dry, 16 to 18 minutes, tossing about halfway through.
• Remove from the oven and stir in the wasabi peas. Let cool completely, and then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

WASABI ASIAN NOODLES

Steps:

• After draining the noodles during the cooking of them, mix the noodles with the sesame oil. This will allow them to not stick together. Chill the noodles.
• Combine sauce ingredients throughly and chill.
• When ready to make, combine noodles, carrot, green onions and sauce and serve topped with sesame seeds.

WASABI SESAME NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package directions. Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again and toss cooked noodles with the oil in a large bowl.
• Meanwhile, whisk together soy sauce through chili-garlic sauce in a small bowl. Stir well until wasabi powder is thoroughly dissolved and all ingredients are combined.
• Toss the noodles in the wasabi mixture, then add the vegetables and sesame seeds and toss again. Serve at room temperature or chilled.

SPICY NOODLES WITH GINGER-GARLIC SHRIMP AND WASABI SAUCE

Steps:

• In a skillet, sauté the shrimp, ginger, and garlic in the oil for 3 minutes or until shrimp is cooked. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; rinse in cold water and drain again.
• To serve, layer noodles, shrimp, cabbage, carrots, radishes, basil, and jalapeno in individual bowls. Pour dressing over top of each serving and sprinkle cashews or wasabi peas over top.
• A Word of Caution: I highly suggest using the recommended 1 1/2 tsp of wasabi paste to start. Only add more if, after mixing it with the rest of the ingredients in the individual bowls, additional heat is desired. The sauce by itself never seemed hot to us, so we used almost an entire tube of wasabi -- and subsequently cried our way through dinner.
