Shredded Beet And Radish Slaw With Rice Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Place the rice noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 20 minutes, or until pliable. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drain the noodles and add to the boiling water. Boil 1 minute and drain. Rinse with cold water and transfer to a bowl. Using kitchen scissors, cut the noodles into 2-inch lengths. Toss with 2 teaspoons of the rice vinegar and the soy sauce.
• Place the grated beets, radishes and chopped herbs in a large bowl and toss with the remaining rice vinegar and salt to taste. Add the noodles, pickled ginger and orange zest and toss together. Taste and add salt if desired.
• To serve, line plates or a platter with lettuce leaves and top the lettuce with the salad. Garnish with cilantro sprigs and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a medium size skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of extra-virgin olive oil, about 3 tablespoons. Once you see the oil ripple in the pan add the grated beets, season with some salt and pepper and cook stirring every now and then until they are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer the beets to a bowl and let them cool down a bit. Add the mustard and the vinegar to the beets. Whisk in the remaining extra-virgin olive oil in a slow and steady stream. Add the fresh dill, radishes, shredded cabbage, sliced scallions and relish and toss to combine, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve now or the next day.
