Keep your cool in the kitchen with this no-cook noodle salad. The star of this recipe is the Vietnamese-style sauce, with ginger, garlic, jalapeno, rice vinegar, and sugar.

Ingredients

Directions

  • In a small saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add jalapeno, ginger, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until garlic is golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Add sugar and vinegar and cook until sauce is slightly thickened, about 6 minutes. Refrigerate until cool, at least 15 minutes (or up to 1 week).

Cook's Notes

This dish is also delicious with a pound of cooked shrimp in place of the chicken.

thought this is no cook? First step is to heat oil in a pan. Also need to cook the noodles. But it looks good and I am looking forward to trying it.

yummy summer salad. I find that the prep work takes longer than listed but we enjoy the dish so it is worth it.

Something different! I only needed about 1/2 of the sauce and used a little less cucumber. My husband and I really enjoyed this. My 6-year-old said the noodles tasted like hair and wasn't a big fan.

Loved the Asain flavors of this sauce! Not too spicy or strong. Omitted the cucumbers and added peanuts.
