Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Chile-Scallion Oil:
2 scallions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 star anise pods
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorns
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Noodles and assembly:
6 ounces Japanese wheat noodles (such as ramen, somen, or udon)
2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 cups shredded cooked chicken
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 large English hothouse cucumber, halved lengthwise, thinly sliced
4 radishes, trimmed, thinly sliced
1 cup cilantro leaves or any sprout

Steps:

  • For chile-scallion oil:
  • Cook all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat, swirling pan occasionally, until scallions and garlic are just golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let cool; transfer oil to a jar.
  • DO AHEAD: Chile oil can be made 4 days ahead. Cover and chill.
  • For noodles and assembly:
  • Cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions; drain. Rinse noodles under cold water, then shake off as much water as possible.
  • Whisk soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and oil in a medium bowl until sugar dissolves. Add noodles, chicken, and scallions; toss to coat. Toss with cucumber, radishes, and cilantro and drizzle with chile oil just before serving.
  • DO AHEAD: Noodles can be cooked the night before. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil; cover and chill. Store noodles with chicken; store vegetables and dressing separately.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really bad. It was too salty and the noodles were overcooked.

This salad is not very good. The chicken is dry and the vegetables are tasteless.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this salad is still really good. The chile-scallion oil adds a nice flavor without being too spicy.
