Spicy Asian Noodle Salad

Spicy Asian Noodle Salad

I was craving a cold Asian noodle dish with a kick so when I found this recipe for a spicy Asian noodle salad on Pickled Plum, I knew it would be just what I was hoping for. It turned out simple to make and delicious. I loved the combination of flavors and textures in this spicy Asian noodle salad and it paired perfectly with the Garlic-Lime Shrimp Cooked on a Himalayan Salt Plate and the sesame asparagus that I served it with. This salad was a huge hit with all of us except for my son, who doesn’t care for really spicy food. I had the leftovers for lunch today and it was just as tasty.

How to Make a Spicy Asian Noodle Salad

Cook the spaghetti in salted water, per package instructions; drain well & rinse under cold water.

While the spaghetti is cooking, combine the rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, sliced Thai chili, and sugar in a large serving bowl; whisk until well combined.

Add the drained spaghetti to the whisked spicy dressing and toss to coat evenly; set aside to allow flavors to mingle for 15-30 minutes, making sure to toss the noodles every once in a while. Add the sliced cucumber, bean sprouts, cilantro, and basil right before serving; toss to mix well. Enjoy.

    1. Jessica,

      Thanks for letting me know it was missing – I have corrected the recipe. I used 1 teaspoon of sugar.
