Savory Sesame Ginger Noodle Salad Quick and Easy Prep
To make this salad, start with the rice noodles. Cook 200g of rice noodles as the package says. Rinse them with cold water once cooked. This step keeps the noodles from getting sticky. Set them aside in a bowl.
Next, let's whip up the dressing. In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of freshly grated ginger, 2 tablespoons of sesame oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of honey or maple syrup. Whisk these together until they blend well. This mix gives the salad its bold flavor.
Now, we need the veggies. Grab a large bowl and add these ingredients: 1 cup of shredded carrots, 1 cup of thinly sliced red cabbage, 1 cup of trimmed snap peas, ½ cup of julienned bell pepper, and 2 sliced green onions. Don’t forget to add ¼ cup of chopped fresh cilantro. This colorful mix makes the salad bright and tasty.
Once the veggies are in the bowl, it’s time for the noodles. Add the cooked noodles to the veggie bowl. Pour the dressing over the noodles and veggies. Gently toss everything together. Make sure every piece gets coated nicely.
Finally, season the salad with salt and pepper to taste. You can adjust this based on what you like. For a fun touch, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of toasted sesame seeds on top before serving.
Serve your salad in a wide bowl to show off the colors. You can garnish with extra cilantro and a lime wedge for a fresh look. Enjoy your quick and tasty sesame ginger noodle salad!
