Today, I present you one kicker of a noodle dish! When I say kicker, I mean, BAM, watch out for the spice. It isn't too bad, but it does that pleasant linger of a burn. And it builds. You are forewarned. Or, well, watch...I'm going to learn I'm a heat wuss. Anyhow, a non-vegan took a bite of this, and LOVED it. In fact, he took half of the freaking bowl. Save some for me!
So, it has approval from meaties!
I hope the rest of you enjoy as much as I did.
P.S. Check out addition of a Green Find I made at the bottom.
Kicker Sesame Noodles

1/2 cup of scallions
1/2 cup of cilantro, chopped
4 cups of snow peas
1 cup toasted sesame seeds
Instructions:
1.) Cook the spaghetti per package directions!
2.) Meanwhile, in a LARGE bowl (this is one big recipe!) whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, rice vinegar, crushed red peppers, the scallions, and the cilantro.
3.) When pasta is done, and drained, toss into the bowl and add in the snow peas and sesame seeds. Mix and serve! Ciao!
GREEN FINDING ALERT
Check it out! This is the ULTIMATE winner. This is the box of the whole-wheat spaghetti. It was store brand (Ralph's, for those wondering), and the cheapest on the aisle. I will point out the ingredients, yeah, no extras! Also, made in USA. WOO. I support world commerce, all for it, but with how our economy has been suffering, and having personal friends suffering hard from it, I like to always support our country, if I have the choice! So, extra woot-woot!
Finally, look at the lovely recycle symbol. Made from 100% recycled paperboard. Can this guy get any better? A win! This pasta is a score.
