From the Test Kitchen

At the heart of tonight’s gourmet, easy-to-make dish is subtly briny squid ink pasta, which brings out the flavor of our shrimp and eagerly soaks up the umami notes of our soy- and sesame-based sauce. A sprinkling of furikake—a savory mix of dried seaweed, chile flakes and sesame seeds—lends another flavorful dimension to the dish, complemented by the seasonal addition of sweet green cabbage.

Prepare the ingredients:
1 Prepare the ingredients:

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a large pot of salted water to boiling on high. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

Add the pasta to the pot of boiling water. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente (still slightly firm to the bite). Reserving ½ cup of the pasta cooking water, drain thoroughly.

3 Make the sauce:

While the pasta cooks, in a medium bowl, combine the soy glaze, vinegar, sesame oil and as much of the sambal oelek as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook the cabbage:
4 Cook the cabbage:

While the pasta continues to cook, in a large, high-sided pan (or pot), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the garlic and white bottoms of the scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Add the cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add ¾ cup of water and cook, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cabbage has softened and the water has cooked off.

Add the shrimp:
5 Add the shrimp:

Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels and place in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat. Add the seasoned shrimp to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until the shrimp are opaque and cooked through.
