Pro Tips

  • Cold noodles absorb dressing as they sit. If making ahead, reserve a small amount of dressing and toss it in just before serving to keep the noodles glossy and flavorful. This salad is also excellent topped with grilled chicken, crispy tofu, salmon, shrimp, or a jammy egg.
  • Cold noodle salads are all about texture. Crisp vegetables, chewy noodles, and crunchy Yo Amma Indian Chili Crisp create a combination that's incredibly satisfying. The rice wine vinegar keeps everything bright while the chili crisp delivers the spice, crunch, and slow-cooked aromatics that make every bite interesting.
