Spicy Asian Pasta Salad
I’m a sucker for a good pasta salad during the hot summer months. Sometimes, it’s all I’ll eat for supper because it’s just so hot here in Arizona that I don’t want to eat. So a cold pasta salad totally hits the spot.
Pasta salads are also a great potluck dish. I love throwing together a spicy Asian pasta salad the night before a party or potluck. It seriously tastes better the next day and that means party day is less stressful too because the food is already done.
CHIU CHOW CHILI OIL
The secret ingredient to this spicy pasta salad is Lee Kum Kee’s Chiu Chow Chili Oil. Y’all!!!! This stuff is amazing! The smell alone makes my mouth start watering…it’s watering right now just thinking about it. It’s a savory chili sauce that’s made from the finest chilies and garlic blended with soy bean oil into a delightful spicy sauce. It’s made according to an authentic recipe from Chiu Chow, China (now you know where it gets its name). I’ve used it in dips and stir-fries but it’s absolutely delicious with noodles in my Spicy Asian Pasta Salad.
I love that Lee Kum Kee really makes it easy to enjoy authentic, restaurant-quality Asian tastes and flavors at home, through the delicious line of savory Asian sauces and condiments. And since they makes a wide range of great-tasting authentic Asian sauces and condiments, I know you’ll find something to elevate your summer celebrations.

I have made this salad three times and each time people fight over any morsels of leftovers! I do not add the ramen noodles, only the green onions and almonds at the end. I will use Tinkyada brown rice spaghetti and slightly sautéed julienne zucchini this time around!
I’m so glad y’all love it. Enjoy. w-
