Beef & Noodle Thai Salad
It's been so hot here: Hello summer! We put our air-conditioner in last night, but not before I made dinner, so I made a no-cook meal, a Thai-inspired noodle salad with strips of thick-cut roast beef from the deli.
It starts with two packets of ramen noodles, which you soak in hot water for 10 minutes (it really works). While that was soaking, I cut up a red bell pepper, a cucumber, some lettuce and mint. I also chopped some unsalted nuts, cut the deli roast beef into strips and made a dressing from peanut butter, rice vinegar, soy sauce, a pinch of cayenne and some sesame oil. Drained and rinsed the noodles, tossed them with some of the dressing and arranged it all on plates with some lime wedges. Todd took a photo that I'll post tonight. It's pretty. Huge amounts of food, too, so we're having leftovers for lunch.

and how did it TASTE??? the saté-style dressing sounds perfect...i'll look forward to the photo, and maybe even some of your good insights into possible variations!
It was good, although I'm still on a quest for the perfect peanut sauce. We mixed all the ingredients together to take to lunch the next day, but I think it was nicer with all the ingredients separate. It seemed fresher, cleaner. I'll post the picture tonight.
