How to Make Sesame and Cilantro Vermicelli Salad

Step-by-Step

Cook the paste in a large saucepan in salted boiling water according to package directions. Drain but DO NOT rinse.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the dressing. In a microwave safe dish, heat the vegetable oil, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes in the microwave on high heat for 2 minutes. Add the honey and soy sauce and mix well.
Combine the drained pasta with the dressing in a large bowl until the pasta is well coated. Cover and chill for several hours.
