Really easy and soooo tasty! The dressing was amazing!

This was delicious! Prepped everything while the tofu was cooking. I like a little extra spice, so I added chili oil to the finished product, but the flavor was already there. I'll definitely be making this again, and very soon!

Thanks For Sharing this amazing recipe. My family loved it. I will be sharing this recipe with my friends. Hope the will like it.

So delicious! I made it with grilled prawns.

Thanks for the great recipe.  Tried it for the first time, yesterday.  Hubby said he would eat it again!  I did dilute the sauce as the lime juice was strong.  Lovely meal.

My family loves this dish we make it with tofu. even my meat eating husband asks me to make it frequently.

I came across your recipe on Pinterest and made it for my family just now.  They loved it!  My daughter said that it tasted just like it does at one of the local restaurants and my son just kept saying "omg, yes!".  It's definitely a keeper.

I really love this recipe It's really delicious. Thanks a lot for sharing this! <a href="https://www.concreteboulder.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">Concrete Boulder Colorado</a>

Me and my will have a dinner date tommorow and this one will be an addition to our table. Thank you so much for sharing the tips! <a href="https://www.treeservicedenvercolorado.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Denver Arborist</a>

I made this based on the recipe and it was really good. I had cashews though instead of peanuts so used them. The Thai basil makes this dish! My recommendation is to double or triple the sauce but that’s a personal preference though.

Thank you for this it's my favorite at restaurants and now I know how to make it myself.

Recipe video above. Popular Vietnamese street food! Fabulous combination of contrasting flavours and textures, fresh vegetables with flavourful lemongrass marinated pork, noodles and herbs, all doused in a mild nuoc cham sauce (so you can use lots).Light and fresh yet anything but dull. Excellent DIY spread for gatherings - lay it all out on tables and let everyone put their own bowls together. Chicken version here. Slightly different toppings because chicken is a white meat, pork is richer. :)

Glass Noodle Salad is a Southeast Asian-styled noodle dish with a perfect balance of flavors and texture: the freshness of vegetables, the delicate texture of glass noodles, and the vibrant flavors of a well-balanced dressing. It's the perfect refreshing dish for hot summer days!

Glass Noodle Salad

Glass Noodles

carrot

tbsp peanuts (reserve some for garnish)

cilantro (reserve some for garnish)

mint leaves (reserve some for garnish)

tofu

ginger

tbsp sugar

In a large bowl, soak the glass noodles in warm water for about 3 minutes.

Once the noodles are ready, drain and rinse them under cold water to remove excess starch. Soak them in an iced bath to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Glass Noodles:

Peel the carrot and cucumber. Using a julienne peeler or a sharp knife, cut them into thin, matchstick-like strips.

Chop the cilantro and mint leaves roughly.

Place the prepared vegetables and herbs in a mixing bowl and set aside.

Prep the Vegetables and Herbs:

Cut the tofu into small cubes or slices according to your preference.

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil.

Gently fry the tofu until golden brown and slightly crispy on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Tofu:

Peel and finely mince the garlic and ginger.

Remove the seeds from the Thai chili pepper and finely chop it.

In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, ginger, chopped chili pepper, lime juice, soy sauce, and sugar. Stir well until the sugar dissolves.

Make the Sauce:

In the mixing bowl with the vegetables and herbs, add the cooked glass noodles and fried tofu.

Pour the sauce over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated with the flavorsome dressing.

Sprinkle the peanuts over the top for an added crunch.

Transfer the glass noodle salad to a serving dish or plate. Garnish with additional cilantro and mint leaves, if desired. Serve it immediately and relish the refreshing combination of textures and flavors.

Assemble the Salad:
