Note: In her column notes, Colombo mentions that chili paste can be
purchased at Oriental food markets. This recipe makes no mention of chili
paste, although it was an ingredient in the Good Neighbor Szechuan noodles.
Seeing as how I think Good Neighbor may have "held back" a little bit on
this recipe (they wouldn't give it out for years, as it's one of their best
sellers), you may also want to experiment and add a little chili paste to
this recipe, which does have a slight bite to it when purchased at Good
Neighbors.
Absolutely great with unsalted blue corn chips! Have eaten many times but
haven't made at home yet. It's delicious, and sells for $4.50/lb. at Good
Neighbors.
From Alice Colombo's 01/27/93 "Cook's Corner" column in "The (Louisville,
KY) Courier-Journal." Pg. C7. Requested by Louisvillean Carol Grady, who
wrote: "I am addicted to the wonderful food available at Louisville's Good
Neighbor Foods Co-op Cafe, but I know I can't ask you to obtain recipes for
all of their creations. Let's start with three of my favorites: hummus,
Szechuan noodles and maple pumpkin pie." Alice Colombo responded: "I have
to agree with you - all are winners." Posted by Cathy Harned.
