This sounds good.
SESAME NOODLES WITH NAPA CABBAGE
10 ounces whole wheat spaghetti
3 tablespoons natural peanut butter
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons mirin
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
4 cups shredded napa cabbage
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
In a large pot of boiling water, cook pasta according to the directions on the package.
In a small saucepan, whisk together peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar and crushed red pepper. Warm sauce over medium-low heat while you wait for the noodles to cook.
Place cabbage in a colander in the sink - when the noodles are ready, drain them over the cabbage so the hot water can wilt the cabbage.
Place the noodles and cabbage in a large bowl, add warmed peanut sauce and toss well to coat. Sprinkle each plate with a portion of the chopped cilantro before serving.
Makes about 4 servings.
