List of Ingredients




2 tbsp ( 30 mL) freshly squeezed lime juice, about 1 to 2 limes
2 tbsp ( 30 mL) soy sauce
2 tbsp ( 30 mL) vegetable oil
1 tbsp ( 15 mL) brown sugar
2 tbsp ( 30 mL) Sambal Oelek or hot chili-garlic sauce
2 tsp ( 10 mL) sesame oil
1 tbsp ( 15 mL) finely minced or grated fresh ginger, or bottled ginger
3 large crushed garlic cloves or 1 tbsp (15 mL) grated or finely minced fresh or bottled garlic
1/2 tsp ( 2 mL) salt
3 400-g pkgs fresh Oriental Shanghai Miki noodles
1 large onion
2 sweet peppers, 1 red and 1 green
1 tsp ( 5 mL) vegetable oil
4 to 6 green onions (optional)
2 cups ( 500 mL) cooked roast beef strips (optional

Recipe



1. Prepare dressing by whisking lime juice, soy, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, brown sugar, Sambal Oelek, sesame oil, ginger, garlic and salt together. If possible, make a few hours ahead and leave at room temperature or make a day ahead and refrigerate.

2. Prepare noodles according to package directions. (We placed them in a colander, then ran warm water over them for 4 minutes, separating noodles as soon as they were softened.) Drain well, then place in a large bowl.

3. Slice onion and peppers into julienned strips. Heat oil in a frying pan. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Then, stir in peppers and sauté for 1 minute. Meanwhile, thinly slice green onions. Toss noodles with onion-and-pepper mixture, green onions, roast beef strips, if using, and dressing until mixed.
