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.
When ready to serve, mix in the cilantro, peanuts, green onions, and red bell pepper. Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds.
