Instructions: 1. Bring water to a boil for the noodles in a covered pot.

2. Cut tough stems from the whole broccoli. Cut the broccoli florettes into bite-size pieces, and steam over a little hot water for about 5 minutes, until tender but still crisp.

3. Turn a food processor on, and with the motor running, put the garlic and ginger through the feed tube and process until minced. Add the sesame paste, soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, chili paste, vinegar and sherry, and process.

4. Drain the broccoli. Cook the noodles according to package directions.

5. Wash and dry the cilantro and chop. Wash and slice the scallions.

6. Pour the sesame dressing into a serving bowl, stir in the broccoli. When the noodles are cooked, stir with the scallions and top with the cilantro.

Yield: 2 servings.
