Asian Glass Noodle Salad<\/strong> \u2014 quick, easy and delicious! This vermicelli noodle salad<\/strong> is made with fresh veggies (Chinese cabbage, snow peas, carrots, and green onion) and tossed in a flavourful, tahini-based Asian-style dressing. Smoked tofu adds flavour and plant-based protein, making this a great main meal salad for vegans. Otherwise, skip the tofu and serve this as a simple side dish with grilled poultry or seafood.<\/p>\n

Easy and versatile glass noodle salad<\/h2>\n

The great thing about a salad like this is that it\u2019s quick and easy to prepare, and can be easily adapted to whatever vegetables you have on hand. Vegetables such as sweet red pepper, edamame (young soy beans), mung bean sprouts and napa cabbage are my favourites.<\/p>\n

In this recipe, smoked tofu can be seen as an optional add-in which can be skipped or traded for something else. As an alternative, pan-fried tofu can be used as a replacement or another plant-based protein. For flexitarians, you can also serve this as a side dish, rather than a main meal salad, by pairing it with grilled salmon, prawns, chicken or even beef.<\/p>\n

Choosing noodles for this salad<\/h2>\n

Vermicelli noodles are also called bean threads or glass noodles and are made from mung bean starch, pea starch or a combination thereof, or other starches from green beans, potato, or sweet potato. When cooked, they are almost transparent and have a slippery feel. However, they can easily be replaced with rice noodles, if preferred.<\/p>\n

Whichever noodles you choose, just prepare them according to the package instructions. For glass noodles, they are usually just soaked in boiling water for a few minutes, then drained, rinsed under cold water, drained again then tossed in the dressing before adding the rest of the ingredients. Easy peasy.<\/p>\n
