is dish screams summer. Rare, sesame-dusted sh on a
bed of greens strewn with summer produce, then topped with a
refreshing carrot ginger dressing is heaven on a plate. It is simple,
yet dramatic in presentation, and most of it can be done ahead of
time. So put your dressing and salad together, then head to the
beach. Pick up the sh on your way home, and voila, dinner is set!

Because my husband is in one of his “carbs are the devil”
phases, I served this sans starch, but the Chinese noodle dish
