hello!
Today, to liven up your appetite on a hot summer day
I will introduce a special dish.
It is the 'Thai-style cold pasta salad'~

Beef, refreshing fruit, crunchy vegetables,
And this dish, where chewy pasta blends together, is
It tastes exotic yet familiar.
It is a really delicious salad pasta :)
If you add the sweet and sour pickled onion sauce to this,
It truly creates a fantastic combination!
It's also great for entertaining guests.


Fruits, in particular, can be used in various ways.
I didn't have any apples today, so I used the Korean melon I had at home, but
You definitely have to add apples and pineapples.
It is also really delicious if you add seasonal peaches.

The freshness and sweetness of the fruit complement the lightness of the pasta,
It blends perfectly with the savory flavor of the beef to create a truly amazing taste!
So, let me now introduce the recipe in earnest!


Making cold pasta
[ingredient]
400g pasta noodles
300g beef (sirloin or steak)
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
1 Korean melon (or apple)
2 slices of pineapple
25 cherry tomatoes
1/2 bell pepper
lettuce
400g chili sauce
1 small onion
[Pickled Onion Sauce]
1/2 cup peanut oil
5 tablespoons of soy sauce
2 tablespoons of vinegar
1 tablespoon of lemon juice


Please slice the onion thinly.
Put soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, and peanut oil into a bowl and mix well.
Add the sliced onions and mix gently, and the pickled onion sauce is complete!
I'll use it after marinating for about 1-3 hours.
You may use regular oil instead of peanut oil, but,
Nothing can match the flavor of peanut oil… :)
This sauce will be the secret seasoning for our cold pasta.






Cut the beef for steak into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper
Please season with minced garlic.
Heat a pan, add oil, and lightly grill the beef.
Please be careful not to overcook it, as it may become tough!
When the meat is almost cooked, add the chili sauce and stir-fry one more time.
Now, I'll let the cooked meat cool for a moment.






Please cut the Korean melon and pineapple into appropriate sizes.
Please cut the cherry tomatoes in half, and
Please thinly julienne the bell peppers.
After washing the lettuce thoroughly,
Tear it into appropriate pieces by hand and prepare.
The fruits and vegetables prepared in this way are for the salad
I'll be responsible for the freshness!


Please boil the pasta first.
After adding 1 tablespoon of salt to 1 liter of water and boiling it vigorously,
Add the pasta and boil for 8 minutes.
If the pasta is cooked, rinse it in cold water.
After draining the water, add a little olive oil.
If you mix it, it coats the noodles so they don't stick together.
By doing this, you can also maintain a chewy texture.






Please put all the vegetables and prepared fruits into a large bowl.
Boiled and cooled pasta, and beef stir-fried in chili sauce, too
Add it, pour the pickled onion sauce over it, and mix gently.


The taste of the Thai-style salad made this way is
The chewiness of the pasta, the savory flavor of the beef, the freshness of the fruit,
With the added crunchiness of the vegetables, it is absolutely fantastic.

In particular, the charm of this dish is the harmony of various flavors and textures.
The chewiness of the pasta, the tenderness of the beef, the sweetness of the fruit, and
You can feel the freshness of the vegetables in a single bite.
Here, the sweet and sour taste of the pickled onion sauce and
With the addition of the sweet and spicy flavor of the chili sauce, it is really
