1/2 cup freshly brewed strong black tea

1/2 pound angel hair pasta

2 quarts water

fresh cilantro leaves

fresh grated carrot (optional)

Directions

Bring water to a rolling boil

Add pasta, stir and cook for about 8 minutes or until done

remove from stove top and drain pasta in colander, rinse off pasta under hot tap water to remove excess starch and to keep pasta from sticking.

In a food processor, add the first 8 ingredients and blend

remove mixture to a bowl and add sesame oil, chili oil, and hot tea

The sauce can be covered and refrigerated for 1-2 days, but should be served at room temperature.

Toss sauce with pasta and garnish cucumber and cilantro.

I've tasted and made similiar recipes and they were delicious. However, your 1 cup freshly brewed strong black tea addition intrigues me. I am saving this to try soon and I'll report back. Great post!

I think I will add some grated carrots for a little added crunch.

I rarely have serrano chilis on hand for this dish but I do have red pepper flakes. I will add a tbsp to this dish instead. OR I use one tiny drop of Dave's Insanity sauce. Also, add one chopped up cooked chicken breast to this dish to make a real meal.
