Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g Hokkien noodles
- 3 large Carrots
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Cucumber
- 3 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Sesame oil
- 1.5 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 tsp Fresh ginger
- 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
Instructions
Place the Hokkien noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.
Peel the carrots and use a julienne peeler or grater to slice them into thin strips. Slice the red bell pepper and cucumber into thin matchsticks.
Chop the green onions into thin rounds and roughly chop the cilantro. Set these aside for assembly.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes.
In a large salad bowl, combine the drained noodles, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.
Add the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds to the salad, saving a few for garnish if desired.
Serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with additional peanuts, sesame seeds, or a sprig of cilantro before serving.
