We'll come right out and say it: This is an Emeril recipe. With very little tinkering from us. But it's a great one. We've taken it to potlucks, barbeques, and parties and it gets raves. Our favorite part? It's not your run-of-the-mill pasta salad or potato salad. It's simple and Asiany and fabulous.
Rating: Truly 1/2 assed
Here's what you need and how you do it
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons sesame oil
1 pound soba noodles, cooked until tender (if you can't find Soba, go for whole wheat spaghetti)
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal
1/2 cup bean sprouts (don't skip, these add a nice crunch)
1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced (buy pre-cut matchstick carrots if you can find them)
1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, thinly sliced
1 cup cashews, lightly crushed (you can substitute almonds, too)
3 Tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
2 Tablespoons sesame seeds
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, and sesame oil. To the noodles, add green onions, bean sprouts, carrots, cucumber, cashews, sesame seeds and soy sauce mixture. Mix thoroughly.

This looks really good and I think I will try it, but as I have a surplus of udon noodles, I think I'll try them!!
FYI...using the bean sprouts will be interesting for us....the majority of the Japanese people who I've told that we eat raw bean sprouts think I am crazy...I think my husband thought I was trying to kill him or something when I put them on a salad the first time.
Can't wait to try this!!

have heard that it is VERY important to wash the soba noodles w/ water after cooking to remove the starch...trying this recipe tomorrow night for dinner and may add some chicken to make it a main dish...
