Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups Asian basil leaves -- tightly packed
1/4 cup Asian mint leaves -- tightly packed
1/4 cup coriander leaves -- (cilantro) tightly packed
1 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup raw peanuts
2 small fresh green chili pepper
1 Tablespoon coarsely chopped ginger
4 large garlic cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Combine the herbs in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat the oil in a small skillet until nearly smoking, then remove from the
heat and add the peanuts. Allow to sit until lightly browned. Remove the
nuts with a slotted spoon and drain, reserving the oil.
Put the peanuts in a food processor or blender and blend to a rough paste.
Add the chilis, ginger, and garlic; and continue to blend. Add the herbs
and a little of the reserved oil, and continue to blend. Add the salt,
sugar, and lemon juice, and blend until the herbs are very finely minced.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and stir in the remaining oil.
Serve alongside warm or cold noodles, and allow each eater to spoon sauce
to taste over a serving of noodles
This quantity of pesto, about 2 1/2 cups, will be more than adequate for a
pound of fresh noodles.
Makes 2 1/2 cups (about 6 one-quarter cup servings)
AuthorNote: This delicious green sauce, to be tossed warm or cold fresh
egg noodles, captures the essential flavors of Southeast Asia. Many who
have tasted it prefer it to its Italian counterpart. It will keep for a
week or so in a jar in the refrigerator if topped with a little oil.
