Asian Beef Noodle Salad

Delicious and easy to make- this is a crowd pleaser. For more taste/texture/fiber I use soba noodles sometimes in place of cellophane noodles.

Ingredients

1 (3.75-ounce) package Bean threads (cellophane noodles)

8 ounces Sliced deli roast beef, cut lengthwise into thin strips

1 cup Snow peas, trimmed and cut lengthwise into thin strips

1/2 cup Julienne-cut carrot

1/2 cup Low-sodium teriyaki sauce

2 tablespoons Lime juice

2 teaspoons Dark sesame oil

2 teaspoons Chile paste with garlic

1/2 teaspoon Bottled fresh ground ginger (such as Spice World)

6 cups Torn spinach

1/4 cup Chopped fresh cilantro

Preparation

Cover noodles with boiling water in a bowl. Let stand 15 minutes or until tender; drain.

Combine beef, snow peas, and carrot in a microwave-safe bowl. Combine the teriyaki sauce and the next 4 ingredients (teriyaki sauce through ginger), and pour over beef mixture. Microwave at high for 2 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Add the noodles; toss well. Serve over spinach. Sprinkle with cilantro.
