Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Vermicelli noodles
- 1 large Cucumber
- 2 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 3 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 50 grams Roasted peanuts
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Fresh red chili or chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions (usually 3-4 minutes), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
While the noodles are cooling, prepare the vegetables. Julienne the cucumber, carrots, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Set aside.
Finely chop the cilantro and slice the scallions thinly. Set these aside as well.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, chili, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled vermicelli noodles, julienned vegetables, chopped cilantro, and scallions. Toss gently to distribute everything evenly.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until the noodles and vegetables are well coated.
Sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top for added crunch and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before serving for an even more refreshing taste.
