How to Make Asian Noodle Salad

1. **Make the Sesame Dressing:** In a tightly sealed jar, combine 1/4 cup sesame oil, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, and 1 clove minced garlic. Shake well to combine.
2. **Cook the Noodles:** Cook 8 ounces of your favorite noodles according to package directions. Add 1 cup of trimmed snow peas during the last 1-2 minutes of cooking.
3. **Rinse the Noodles:** Drain the noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. Drain again.
4. **Cook the Pork:** Heat 1 teaspoon of cooking spray in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add 6 ounces of thinly sliced pork and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger; cook for 4-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is lightly pink in the center.
5. **Assemble the Salad:** In a large bowl, combine the cooked noodles, 1/2 cup sliced bell pepper (any color), 1/2 cup shredded carrots, 1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion, and the cooked pork.
6. **Dress the Salad:** Pour half of the sesame dressing over the noodle mixture and toss gently to combine.
7. **Garnish and Serve:** Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds over the salad. Serve immediately with the remaining dressing on the side.
