This was dinner the other night. Use fresh chiles if
you have them instead of the chile paste. I love chile
paste and it is really hot YET my DH loves it too.

     3/4  pkg           whole wheat linguine
   1      cup           scallions (green & white

     1/2  cup           lemon basil -- julienne
   1      sm handful    purslane
   2      tbsp          tamari soy sauce -- * see note
   1      tsp           chinese chile paste -- ** see
note
   2      tsp           vegetable oil
   2      tsp           roasted sesame oil -- Kadoya
brand prefer.
     1/2  tsp           black pepper
   3      tbsp          lemon juice

Place a big pot of water on the stove and bring to a
boil. Add linguine and cook according to package
directions.

When pasta is done, place in a large bowl and toss
with the scallions, lemon basil, lemon juice, tamari
sauce, pepper and hot chile paste (or oil, or flakes).


Heat a wok over high heat. Add the corn oil and sesame
oil. When the oil is hot, but not smoking, add the
noodles and sauce. Stir-fry in the hot oil for 5
minutes, tossing frequently. 

Serve with stir-fried vegetables of some kind.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* Tamari has no wheat in it, like regular soy sauce.
** If you cannot find chinese chile paste (found at
all oriental supermarkets and at some specialty
stores), you can use Asian chili oil or a tsp or so of
red chile flakes.
