SPICY THAI NOODLE SALAD



Spicy Thai Noodle Salad image

This is my favorite cold noodle salad! I loved it so much, we made mass quantities for my wedding. There are some similar recipes out there, but after testing over and over, here is the combination that I think works best. I kept the recipe vegetarian, but I usually add cooked bay shrimp. You can add any kind of meat or veggies!! You can also omit or add more of the cayenne depending on your "spicy tolerance"! You can certainly substitute spaghetti for the Soba noodles, but Soba noodles really work best.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb soba noodles
3 tablespoons sesame oil (the oil is strong, don't add more)
4 tablespoons canola oil
6 tablespoons honey
6 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
5 red bell peppers, sliced thin and long
4 cups peas (frozen works fine)
16 green onions
1 1/2 cups honey roasted peanuts (leave whole)
1 1/2 cups cilantro, chopped coarse
2 limes, cut in wedges for garnish

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of salted water. Check cooking directions, soba noodles can cook literally in minutes. Drain pasta well. Let pasta dry a bit or water on the pasta will dilute the dressing.
  • Whisk sesame oil, canola oil, honey, soy sauce, vinegars, ginger and cayenne in a small bowl to blend.
  • Season with salt.
  • Heat a few tablespoons of dressing in saute pan over medium high heat (be careful, dressing can burn easily).
  • Add peppers to pan for about 2 - 3 minutes to ligtly soften, they should still be crunchy.
  • Add all other ingredients to pasta along with remaining dressing. Mix salad well, you will probably need to use your hands.
  • Garnish with lime wedges.
  • Serve right away or chill as long as overnight.
  • Add peas shortly before serving. If you add them too early they will turn a "lovely" shade of grey.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 quarts water
2 stalks celery, cut in half lengthwise
1 two-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves
8 sprigs cilantro, including stems, roughly chopped (about 3/4 cup), plus 1/2 cup loosely packed leaves for garnish
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
Coarse salt
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 pounds)
1 pound somen or vermicelli noodles
1/2 head green cabbage
1 bunch carrots, peeled (about 6 carrots)
2 serrano or jalapeno chiles, seeds and ribs removed
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, chopped
1 cup Peanut Sauce
1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, combine the water with celery, ginger, garlic, chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, and a pinch of salt; bring to a boil over high heat. Add the chicken breasts, and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 12 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand until chicken is cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, and cut into 1/4-inch strips, or shred as finely as possible with your fingers. Place in a medium bowl, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Cook noodles until they are al dente according to package instructions, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander, let drain, and rinse under cold water until they are cool. Place in a medium bowl, and toss with remaining tablespoon sesame oil; set aside.
  • Cut cabbage in half, and remove core. Slice cabbage and carrots as thinly as possible with a mandoline or sharp knife. Place in a large bowl. Cut serrano chiles into very thin strips, and add to bowl along with shredded chicken and mint. Just before serving, pour peanut sauce over mixture, and toss to coat. Place noodles on a large serving platter, and pile chicken mixture on top. Sprinkle with peanuts and cilantro leaves.

Tips:

  • To save time, use pre-cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken.
  • For a spicier salad, add more red pepper flakes or use a hotter pepper, such as a habanero pepper.
  • If you don't have any rice noodles, you can use other types of noodles, such as ramen noodles or spaghetti noodles.
  • For a healthier salad, use whole wheat noodles and low-fat dressing.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, cook the chicken and noodles according to the recipe, but don't add the dressing. Store the chicken and noodles separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, combine the chicken, noodles, and dressing and toss to coat.

Conclusion:

Spicy shredded chicken noodle salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a light lunch, a hearty dinner, or a refreshing snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this spicy shredded chicken noodle salad a try.
