SPICY THAI NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water. Check cooking directions, soba noodles can cook literally in minutes. Drain pasta well. Let pasta dry a bit or water on the pasta will dilute the dressing.
• Whisk sesame oil, canola oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegars, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl to blend.
• Season with salt.
• Heat a few tablespoons of dressing in saute pan over medium high heat (be careful, dressing can burn easily).
• Add peppers to pan for about 2 - 3 minutes to ligtly soften, they should still be crunchy.
• Add all other ingredients to pasta along with remaining dressing. Mix salad well, you will probably need to use your hands.
• Garnish with lime wedges.
• Serve right away or chill as long as overnight.
• Add peas shortly before serving. If you add them too early they will turn a "lovely" shade of grey.
