Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Sesame Noodle Salad Bowl.
Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
Once boiling, add the linguine and cook it according to the package instructions, which should take about 11 minutes, until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.
Step 3
After cooking, drain the pasta and give it a quick rinse under cold water to cool it down and stop the cooking process.
Step 4
In another pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil again, this time for the green beans.
Step 5
Cook them for about 5 to 8 minutes until they turn a vibrant green and are just tender.
Step 6
Drain the beans and rinse them under cold water as well to preserve their bright color and crispness.
Step 7
Now, letβs make the dressing! In a large salad bowl, whisk together fresh lime juice, canola oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, zesty orange peel, and finely chopped serrano peppers.
Step 8
Keep whisking until the sugar dissolves completely, and then let the dressing sit for about 30 minutes.
Step 9
This resting time allows all those delicious flavors to meld beautifully.
Step 10
Once the dressing is ready, add in the shredded carrots and sliced green onions, followed by the cooled linguine and green beans.
Step 11
Gently toss everything together, ensuring each ingredient is well-coated in that flavorful dressing.
Step 12
Donβt forget to season with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
Step 13
For the best flavor experience, cover the salad and pop it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Step 14
This little wait will enhance the flavors even more, making each bite a delightful treat! Enjoy your vibrant and refreshing pasta salad!.
