In a large bowl, toss together the noodles, cabbage, scallions, equally good equally sauce. Top with sliced duck, snap peas equally good equally sesame seeds.
*It's made from roasted whole white sesame seeds. Purchase at Chinese grocery stores or online. Tahini isn't quite the same (it is made from unhulled, raw sesame seeds equally good equally has a different flavour profile) exactly tin motion used with tasty, if not quite every fleck intended results. If using tahini, I advise adding a drizzle of toasted sesame unsmooth to the sauce every fleck you lot lot mix it.
My thoughts:
It's been ages since I've made sesame noodles. I'll admit, I posted a fairly similar recipe a span of summers agone equally good equally hence you lot lot aren't imagining things if this looks familiar to you lot lot exactly I made it i fourth dimension i time to a greater extent than equally good equally tweaked it to motion to a greater extent than winter-appropriate. Sugar snap peas are available year-round straight off (I hollo dorsum the ones I bought were grown inward a greenhouse?) equally good equally add together together a lot compaction equally good equally an appreciated allow on from wintertime squash. I dearest cabbage equally good equally hence I tossed it inward raw for level to a greater extent than crunch. I also went with wider, dried noodles this time. I sense of savor fresh noodles a lot exactly these are much easier to uncovering (all of my local supermarkets behaviour them) equally good equally since they are shelf-stable, I don't pick out to innovation ahead equally good equally hence much to build this dish.
Having leftover duck is a luxury, I know! I really heated upwards a frozen half duck gene section (look for these inward to a greater extent than high-end supermarkets) vs roasting a whole duck myself because it was our dejeuner for our New Year's Eve game plain of report (duck is game meat!) equally good equally I didn't pick out the 4th dimension or energy. It makes the perfect amount for two people to pick out hearty portions. If you lot lot don't pick out duck, leftover roasted or rotisserie chicken would motion slap-up or level tofu or steamed shrimp.
The leftovers (or innovation for this) are slap-up for packing for usual frigidity lunches too. Even though it's usual frigidity out, it's okay to swallow to a greater extent than or less usual frigidity food.
It's a really satisfying meal equally good equally every 4th dimension I build it, I wonder why I don't acquire inward to a greater extent than often equally good equally how piece of cake it is.
