Pacific Rim Pasta with Ginger Sesame Dressing

A mix of ethnic cuisines results in a medley of flavors, colors and shapes—an elevated aesthetic experience.

Ingredients:

• 4 oz. somen noodles (3 1/2 cups cooked) or any dried thin noodles
• 1 cup Ginger Sesame Dressing
• 1/4 lb. each cooked and peeled shrimp and surimi crab
• 1 cup (4 oz.) snow peas, stemmed, cut diagonally in half, or 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
• 1 cup bean sprouts
• 1 stalk celery, finely chopped
• 3 green onions, finely sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves, lightly packed
• 1/4 lb. mushrooms, sliced (1 cup)

Cooking Instructions:

Add noodles to a large kettle of boiling salted water. When water returns to a boil and noodles come to top, cook until just tender (2-3 minutes). Drain and rinse immediately with cold water; let drain.

Put pasta in a large bowl and stir in dressing. Add remaining ingredients to pasta and toss gently.

To serve, place salad in an attractive serving bowl. Bring a few pieces of shrimp and Surimi crab to the top and add a sprig of cilantro.
