Today’s Special Recipe: Spicy Thai Peanut Noodle Salad

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m thrilled to share with you a recipe that brings together the bold flavors of Thai cuisine with the freshness of a summer salad. This Spicy Thai Peanut Noodle Salad is perfect for those warm evenings when you want something light yet satisfying. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• rice noodles (200g)
• bell pepper (1, thinly sliced)
• cucumber (1, julienned)
• carrot (1, grated)
• red cabbage (100g, thinly sliced)
• green onions (2, thinly sliced)
• fresh cilantro (a handful, chopped)
• roasted peanuts (50g, chopped)

Kitchen Tools:

• large pot
• strainer
• mixing bowl
• whisk
• knife
• cutting board

I start by cooking the rice noodles according to the package instructions until they are al dente. Once done, I drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. In a large mixing bowl, I combine the cooked noodles with the bell pepper, cucumber, carrot, red cabbage, green onions, and cilantro.

Next, I prepare the spicy peanut dressing by whisking together the following ingredients in a small bowl:
– 3 tablespoons of peanut butter
– 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
– 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar
– 1 tablespoon of honey
– 1 clove of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
– 1 teaspoon of sriracha sauce

I pour the dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture, tossing everything together until well combined. To finish off the salad, I sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts on top for an added crunch.

This Spicy Thai Peanut Noodle Salad serves 4 and each serving weighs approximately 300g. One serving is around 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to add a squeeze of fresh lime juice right before serving to enhance the flavors and bring a burst of citrusy freshness. You can also customize this salad by adding in grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp for a protein boost.

I hope you give this Spicy Thai Peanut Noodle Salad a try and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite. Feel free to make it your own by experimenting with different vegetables or proteins. Happy cooking!
