Vegetable Yakisoba Noodle Salad:
Julienne one red and one yellow bell pepper, two large carrots, one small red onion.
Take four ribs of celery and bok choy, and cut them in half length-wise, and then cut them again at a bias.
Add baby corn, sliced water chesnuts and chopped scallions.
Mix with 16 ounces of fresh yakisoba noodles.
Dressing:
In a food processor, add one tablespoon each of chopped garlic, shallot and ginger.
Add 1/8 cup of soy sauce.
Add 1/4 cup of mirin.
Add 1/4 cup rice wine vinegar.
While blending at high speed, slowly add 1/4 cup of honey, 1 3/4 cups salad oil, and 1/4 cup pure sesame oil.
Mix dressing with vegetables and noodles, and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
Serve in small Chinese to-go boxes with chop sticks, and enjoy!
The sunshine in Seattle finally feels here to stay, so I’m saying hooray for summer with a wedding inspiration board in the sunniest of colors, aqua blue and yellow! This color palette makes me smile just looking at it – who wouldn’t love to be surrounded by all those little details like the turquoise earrings, the yellow heels, the blue bicycle and the get-away car? So fun! And even better, all the photos are from our new wedding image gallery. If you haven’t already seen it, be sure to take a look. It’s filled with gorgeous work from truly amazing photographers, and it’s growing every week!
