Salad Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice vermicelli noodles
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup thinly sliced red and yellow bell peppers
  • 1 cup cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1/4 cup peanuts, crushed (optional)

Spicy Ginger Dressing

  • 3 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili sauce (adjust based on spice preference)

Instructions

  1. Cook Noodles: In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add rice vermicelli noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
  2. Prepare Vegetables: While the noodles cool, thinly slice the carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and green onions. Set aside.
  3. Combine Greens: In a large bowl, add the shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, cucumber, bean sprouts, chopped cilantro, mint, and green onions, mixing gently to combine.
  4. Mix Noodles: Add the cooled vermicelli noodles to the bowl with the vegetables and gently toss to combine everything evenly.
  5. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together grated fresh ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or agave syrup, sesame oil, and chili sauce until well blended.
  6. Dress the Salad: Pour the spicy ginger dressing over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the noodles and vegetables are well coated with the dressing.
  7. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter, sprinkle with crushed peanuts if using, and serve immediately for the best fresh taste.

Notes

  • Adjust chili sauce quantity to control the level of spice according to your preference.
  • Peanuts add a nice crunch, but you can omit them for a nut-free option.
  • For Vegan version, use agave syrup instead of honey.
  • This salad tastes best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.
  • Try adding cooked shrimp or tofu for added protein.
