noodle salad recipe

This quick Thai-inspired salad brings crunch and tang to your table. It makes a great calorie-controlled option if you&#8217;re following the 5:2 diet too. To bulk it up on non-fasting days, double the noodles and add an extra handful of prawns. Love noodles but don&#8217;t eat prawns? Try our goat&#8217;s cheese and soft-boiled egg noodle salad for a vegetarian version instead.

Prawn noodle salad

flat rice noodles or vermicelli noodles

green beans,

½ red chilli, roughly chopped

Grating fresh garlic

fish sauce

caster sugar

cooked, peeled, sustainable prawns

courgette,

cherry tomatoes, halved

mango, finely sliced

coriander, leaves picked

toasted unsalted peanuts, chopped (optional)

Put the noodles and green beans in a heatproof bowl and pour over a kettle of freshly boiled water. Set aside for 3-5 minutes until the noodles and beans are just tender.

In a separate large bowl, mix the chilli, garlic, fish sauce, sugar and lime juice. Add the prawns and toss to coat in the dressing.

Drain the noodles and beans, then add to the prawns and dressing along with the courgette, tomatoes and mango. Toss again, then transfer to a serving plate. Scatter with coriander leaves and chopped peanuts, if you like, then serve with lime wedges for squeezing over.

The flavors of Vietnam in a bowl. This refreshing rice noodle dish is topped with juicy grilled pork, shrimp, fried spring rolls, fresh herbs, crunchy vegetables, and a drizzle of sweet and savory sauce.

Bún Thịt Nướng (Vietnamese Rice Vermicelli Noodle Bowl)

lb pork shoulder/butt (sliced thin)

oz shrimp (peeled and deveined, with tails)

shallot (minced)

garlic

lemongrass (about 2 tablespoons minced)

brown sugar

black pepper

oz medium dried rice vermicelli noodles

Egg rolls/fried spring rolls

carrots and daikons (Đồ chua)

Lettuce and fresh herbs

English cucumbers

peanuts (roughly chopped)

Scallion oil

Vietnamese Dipping Sauce (nuoc cham)

Prepare the marinade

Mix shallot, garlic, lemongrass, sugar, fish sauce, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Toss in pork and shrimp. Mix until combined. No need to wait to marinate. You can start cooking right away.

Cook

Either pan-fry the pork and shrimp in a skillet, grill them outside, roast them in the oven, or use your air fryer. You want to cook them on high heat until lightly charred and caramelized on the outside. I’m pan-frying and I’m using a large 12-inch skillet. Coat the bottom of the skillet with a thin layer of vegetable oil (about 1 tablespoon). Add pork and pan fry until caramelized, flipping and turning until caramelized on the outside (about 4 minutes per side). Remove pork and set aside. Do the same with the shrimp. Skillet may not need additional oil. Cook until high heat until caramelized (about 1½ minutes per side).

Cook the noodles per package instructions

For the JiangXi brand I&#8217;m using (picture above), I had to cook them longer than the package instructions. Instead of 6-8 minutes per the cooking instructions on the back, I cooked it for about 10 minutes. To be definitely sure, carefully grab a noodle from the pot and pinch them between your fingers. If it breaks apart with a tiny bit of resistance, it&#8217;s good to go. Drain the noodles into a colander in the sink. Rinse well with cold water to prevent them from sticking.

Prepare the Accompaniments

Wash the lettuce and cucumbers, then slice them into thin strips. Make the scallion oil, make the sauce, and cook your egg rolls.

Assemble and serve

Top each bowl with rice noodles, pork, and shrimp. Brush noodles, pork, and shrimp with scallion oil. Add herbs, vegetables, and crushed peanuts. Serve with a small bowl of Vietnamese Dipping Sauce on the side. To eat, drizzle the sauce onto the noodles. Give everything a mix and enjoy.

I have been looking for a good pork skewer recipe for years that reminds me of mom and this hits the spot. The pork is so good and flavorful. It's how we eat Bun Thit Noung. Charcoal grilled lemon grass pork skewer, skewered shrimp, eggroll, noodles, veggies and fish sauce. Girl your recipe is amazing!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
