Spicy Peanut Noodle Salad

Image
By Amy
This one comes from my Aunt MaryKate. I made it this weekend for a family dinner and Mike requested it again today to take to work for someone's retirement party. I'm thinking it would work great to take to a summer BBQ because it isn't served warm and it wouldn't spoil quickly out of the fridge. Plus you can pretty much make the whole thing a day ahead and just throw it all together just before serving. I'm seeing it served with a great burger or steak!
8 oz. spaghetti noodles - cooked
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
3 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/4 cup corn oil
3 Tbsp. honey
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp. chopped cilantro
1/4 cup minced green onions
1/2 cup crushed peanuts
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds

In saucepan, stir pepper and oils over medium heat for 2 minutes.  Add honey, soy sauce, and salt.  Stir to combine and set aside.  Cook spaghetti noodles until tender, drain and combine with sauce mixture.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.  When ready to serve, add chopped cilantro, green onions, and peanuts to noodles.  Toss, sprinkle with sesame seeds and garnish with cilantro.

Joe introduced me to these, and Paula Deen has a recipe for them on Food Network . So I am jumping to the conclusion that they are popular in the South... :) Here's how we made ours. Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a large pot on medium heat. You want to heat to about 350 degrees, so we used a candy thermometer to monitor the temp. Prepare the toppings. Note - For the toppings, we didn't actually measure any of the ingredients, just eyeballed it. But this is about how much we used. Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk (add more to thin as necessary) Whisk together, set aside. Cinnamon Sugar Coating: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon Whisk together in a dish with a lid or a paper bag, set aside. Peanut Butter Chocolate Glaze: 1/2 cup powdered sugar 2 Tbsp cocoa powder 1 Tbsp milk 2 Tbsp peanut b...

Auntie Katie's Pizza Dough

1 pkg Yeast (1TB) 1 TB Sugar 1 1/2 C Really warm water Put the water in a bowl and sprinkle the yeast and sugar on top and let set until foamy. For extra speed I set the bowl in the sink with HOT water surrounding the bowl. This will help the yeast activate faster. Add 2 1/2 C Flour 1 tsp Salt Mix all together. Let rise until double in bulk. (For a speedy trick I put it in the oven on no more than 100 to help it rise faster.) Punch down and grease one cookie sheet and spread dough over to fit the sheet. Don't put toppings on it yet. Poke it with a fork just enough so it doesn't puff up. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Or just before it turns brown. Bring it out and top with sauce and cheese and toppings. Put it back in the oven and bake until cheese melts. For me it is all about the sauce you use and the kind of cheese I still have yet to find the perfect combo but we LOVE the crust especially since you pre bake you won't ever have it come out doughy. Enjoy
