Servings: persons

1/4 cup light sesame oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
7 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons chinese black vinegar or 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 1/2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 teaspoons sea salt
2 teaspoons chili oil
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped cilantro
Noodles and Asparagus
2 lbs asparagus, trimmed and thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 (14 ounce) package asian rice noodles
10 scallions, including the firm greens, thinly sliced
1/4 cup sesame seeds, toasted until lightly browned

1
Mix the marinade ingredients together, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the asparagus.
3
Cook until bright green and tender but still firm, just a few minutes. Scoop the asparagus out, rinse it under cold water, and set on a towel to dry.
4
Pull the noodles apart with your fingers, add them to the boiling water, and give them a quick stir. Boil until tender but not overly soft, tasting them often as they cook. It should take only a few minutes. Pour the noodles into a colander and immediately rinse under cold water. Shake off the excess water.
5
Toss the noodles with all the marinade and most of the scallions, sesame seeds and asparagus.
6
Mound them in a bowl or on a platter, then garnish with the remaining asparagus, scallions and sesame seeds.
