When making this for Shabbat or in advance for any occasion, prepare the pasta and vegetables separately and combine before serving. It’s best served lukewarm or at room temperature.
1 pound spaghettini
1 bag (1.5 lb) frozen broccoli florets
1⁄2 cup frozen shelled edamame, defrosted
3 scallions, sliced
2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
3 carrots, peeled and julienned
1 can (15 oz) baby corn, cut into bite-sized pieces
1⁄3 cup toasted sesame seeds
Dressing:
1-1⁄2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1-1⁄2 teaspoons fresh ginger, minced
1⁄3 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain well. Rinse under cold, running water to stop the cooking process.
Dressing: Place the garlic and ginger in a bowl. Stir in the soy sauce, honey and sesame oil, mixing well.
Pour the dressing over the pasta, tossing to coat the pasta evenly. Transfer the noodles to a ZiplocTM bag; marinate in the refrigerator for a minimum of 3 hours.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the frozen broccoli florets and edamame and blanch for 4 to 5 minutes or until the water turns dark green. Strain and transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the remaining ingredients to the bowl. Stir in the pasta, tossing well. Serve at room temperature.
Makes 6 to 8 servings.
