Cold Asian Noodle Salad

My family and I visited a friend--Lt. Col. Bill Smith (ret.)--in Upstate NY for a bbq and he served this to us, among other good food.  It is so simple but flavorful--good spiciness.  And it's not heavy, because it isn't mayo-based it's safe to serve in the summer.
I'll be making this for our annual summer pig roast this year!



1lb. vermicelli pasta
3T + 1t. sesame oil
1t. crushed red pepper
¼ c. honey
¼ c. + 2T. soy sauce
¼ c. vegetable oil
2T. toasted sesame seeds
¼ c. chopped cilantro
3 minced scallions

Cook pasta 5 ½ minutes, just before al dente (liquid will absorb cooked pasta for perfect texture). Combine sesame oil, crushed red pepper, honey and soy sauce, and heat in microwave for 20-30 seconds. Add to large bowl with cooked pasta. Stir well. Add vegetable oil, sesame seeds, cilantro and scallions and stir.

Place in fridge to serve cold.

Makes 8-10 servings.
