-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/2 cup hulled white sesame seeds

8 ounces dried soba noodles

2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar or balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons soy sauce -- to 3 tablespoons

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Pour the sesame seeds onto a rimmed

baking sheet. Toast the seeds in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes, until

they are a rich brown around the edges.

 

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the

noodles, and cook them for 5 to 6 minutes, or until they are just

again.

 

In a large bowl, mix together the vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, ginger,

garlic, sesame oil, and scallions. Add the noodles and the toasted

sesame seeds. Stir well, then stir in the broccoli or asparagus. Let

the dish sit for 30 minutes at room temperature before serving.
