Asian Noodle Salad

1 pound angel hair pasta

1 tsp sesame oil

1/4 cup soy sauce

2 T sugar

1 1/2 T balsamic vinegar

2 tsp salt

1/4 cup cilantro chopped

1 jalapeno pepper seeded minced

1/4 cup dry roasted peanuts chopped

that's what the original recipe calls for. i guessed at all the amounts instead of measured them. i also added a good handfull of sugar peas and shredded carrots that i stirfried in olive oil until half tender and let cool and threw that in with the rest of the stuff on top of the pasta and mixed it up good. when you cook the pasta and when it's done make sure you rinse the pasta in cold water so the pasta dosn't stick. i serve it cold. good luck.

Minty Bulgar Wheat and Peach Salad:

2C. boiling water

1C. bulgar wheat

3T. lemon juice

2T. lime juice

2T. Olive Oil

1T. honey

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

2C. chopped peaches (about 2)

2C. chopped jicama

1C. finely chopped mint

Combine water and bulgar; let sit 1 hour or until water is absorbed. Combine juices, oil, honey, salt and pepper. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bulgar, toss to combine and pour the dressing over the top. Stir, then refridgerate for 1 hour.

This is the way the recipe is written, and it sounds good; however, the first time I made this we didn't have any bulgar so I made it with quinoa instead and that is the only way we make it now. I also used nectarines instead of peaches and I grilled them since the grill was already in use
