Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz Noodles (Any Asian noodles like rice noodles, soba, or udon.)
- 1 large Cucumber (Opt for English cucumber to avoid bitterness.)
- 2 medium Carrots (Julienned for a beautiful presentation.)
- 3 stalks Green Onions (Chopped; substitute with chives if preferred.)
- 1 cup Mint (Fresh, or substitute with cilantro if desired.)
- 2 cups Chicken (Cooked, roasted, grilled, or poached.)
- 1/4 cup Lime Juice (Freshly squeezed is best.)
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce (Use gluten-free soy sauce for a gluten-free option.)
- 1 tbsp Sugar (Adjust to taste or omit.)
- to taste Salt (Essential for enhancing flavor.)
- to taste Pepper (Essential for enhancing flavor.)
Instructions
- Cook Noodles: Begin by cooking the noodles according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process and prevent stickiness.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked noodles with sliced cucumbers, julienned carrots, chopped green onions, and fresh mint. Drizzle in a small amount of the dressing to start mixing the ingredients together.
- Toss Gently: Use tongs or two forks to toss the salad gently. This ensures that everything is well combined and the noodles are no longer clumped together.
- Season Salad: Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste. Pour over the remaining dressing and mix until every bite is beautifully coated.
- Prepare the Dressing: For the dressing, combine all ingredients in a screw-top jar: lime juice, soy sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper. Shake vigorously until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Optional: Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for extra crunch and flavor!
