RICE NOODLE SALAD WITH SALTED PEANUTS AND HERBS



Rice Noodle Salad With Salted Peanuts and Herbs image

This satisfying salad has rice noodles and vegetables in equal measure, making it bright, crisp and light. The peanuts add richness and a salty crunch, along with a dose of protein. And the dressing is a little spicy and a lot tangy, with a pungent kick from fish sauce, garlic and ginger. The recipe makes just enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables and noodles, but if you're a fan of heavily dressed salads, consider doubling it. Any leftover will keep in the fridge for up to a week, and you'll be happy to drizzle it on fish, chicken and all kinds of vegetables.

ASIAN RICE NOODLE SALAD



Asian Rice Noodle Salad image

The best thing about this salad is how it comes together in no time at all. Asian rice noodles generally cook more quickly than wheat noodles and with the addition of the precut coleslaw mix the prep time is very minimal.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
2 -3 light brown sugar
6 -8 tablespoons water, to taste
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 fresh Thai chiles or 1 jalapeno pepper, minced
8 ounces thin rice noodles
3 -4 napa cabbage leaves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 medium carrot (shredded or cut into matchsticks)
1/2 cucumber, halved, seeded and thinly sliced
1 handful chopped fresh herb, preferably a combination of basil, cilantro and mint
8 ounces cooked pork, chicken (cut or chopped into bite-sized pieces) or 8 ounces shrimp (cut or chopped into bite-sized pieces)
1/2 salted peanuts, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • To prepare the dressing, combine the fish sauce, lime juice, 2 tablespoons of the brown sugar, 6 tablespoons of the water, the garlic and the chile. Whisk well. Taste: if it's too pungent, add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time. If you'd like more sweetness, add more brown sugar, 1/2 tablespoon at a time. Remember that you're going to be putting this dressing on unsalted vegetables and noodles: you want the dressing to have a lot of flavor, but it shouldn't knock you over. Pour into a serving bowl. (Covered and chilled, the dressing will keep for 3 days to a week.).
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Immediately drain the noodles into a colander, and rinse them well with cold water. Lay out a clean kitchen towel on the countertop, shake the colander to drain away excess water and then spread the cooked noodles on the towel to drain further.
  • Divide the noodles between two or three good-sized bowls, depending on the number of diners, and top with the vegetables, herbs and meat. Scatter the peanuts on top. Allow each person to spoon on dressing to taste. Toss well, and eat. (Alternatively, you can present this salad family-style: Toss the vegetables, herbs and noodles in a mixing bowl and then mound them on a serving platter. Arrange the meat over the noodles, and top with peanuts. Each diner can scoop their own portion from the platter and dress it as they see fit.).

Categories     Salad     Beef     Pasta     Buffet     Mint     Basil     Steak     Peanut     Sesame     Gourmet

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

For marinating the beef
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce such as nuoc mam* or soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian (toasted) sesame oil
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
For the sauce
1/3 cup water
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/3 cup Asian fish sauce such as nuoc mam*
1/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 pound dried rice-stick noodles* (rice vermicelli)
1 large seedless cucumber, quartered lengthwise, cored, and sliced into 1/4-inch-thick pieces
4 cups shredded lettuce, rinsed and spun dry
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup crushed roasted peanuts (use a rolling pin)
*available at Asian markets

Steps:

  • Marinate the beef:
  • In a blender blend together the garlic, the fish sauce, the sesame oil, the sugar, and the salt, in a shallow dish pour the marinade over the steak, turning the steak to coat it well, and let the steak marinate, covered and chilled, for 4 hours or overnight.
  • Make the sauce:
  • In the blender blend together the water, the garlic, the fish sauce, the lime juice, the sugar, and the red pepper flakes.
  • In a large bowl soak the noodles in warm water to cover for 5 minutes and drain them. In a kettle of salted boiling water cook the noodles for 5 minutes and drain them in a colander. Rinse the noodles well under cold water and drain them well.
  • Grill the steak, discarding the marinade, on an oiled rack set 4 to 5 inches over glowing coals or broil it under a preheated broiler about 3 to 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 10 minutes on each side, or until it is springy to the touch, for medium-rare meat. Transfer the steak to a cutting board, let it stand for 10 minutes, and holding a knife at a 45-degree angle slice it thin.
  • Divide the cucumber, the lettuce, and the herbs among 8 large plates, mixing them, and mound the noodles over the mixture on each plate. Arrange the steak decoratively over the noodles and sprinkle it with the peanuts. Spoon some of the sauce over each plate and serve the remaining sauce separately.
