These noodles taste much better than the ones from a take-out, plus they’re easy to make – you can really add what you want – kind of a “clean out the fridge.” An added bonus is it improves with age so the next day it’s even better. I’ve actually taken the bowl out and just stood there with a fork eating it at the counter!
1 pound cooked angel hair pasta, drained and rinsed with cold water
1 small bunch scallions
1/2 lb. chunk of ham, diced
Some black or green olives
Small slices of roasted red pepper (even diced green is ok)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil (not olive oil)
2 1/2 Tbsp. sesame oil
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
3/4 cup soy sauce
1 tsp. chili oil – or more to taste -more will give it a kick
Place the drained pasta, scallions, ham and walnuts in a large mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Set aside. In separate bowl, whisk to combine all the rest of the ingredients then pour over pasta and mix very well. Pour this dressing over the noodles and toss and toss and toss to coat well.
