Glass Noodle Salad

Hello and welcome to Kelly’s Kitchen! Today is the first post of the new Kelly’s Kitchen, featuring a fresh new recipe each Sunday evening. Today’s recipe is a really simple main dish salad, or a great side for a barbecue or potluck get together. Glass noodles are a type of noodle made from mung beans or sweet potatoes. They are common in Korean cooking, and while they don’t have much flavor on their own, they add great texture to all kinds of dishes – plus they are gluten-free! So let’s get right to this Glass Noodle Salad!ย 

The most time consuming part of this recipe is the prep. We have thinly sliced cabbage, julienned carrot, sliced cucumber, shredded rotisserie chicken, chopped cilantro, mint and scallions. Then we have the dressing, the noodles and the lime cashew crunch topping.ย

1. Glass Noodles

This recipe calls for 8 ounces of dried glass noodles. Place the dried noodles in a rectangular casserole dish and cover the noodles with freshly boiled water. Use a fork or silicone spatula to periodically stir the noodles back and forth. The noodles take about 3-4 minutes to cook. They will become transparent and soft. Drain the noodles in a colander and rise with cold water. Loosen them up with your hands as you rinse them. Set the noodles aside to cool further.ย

2. Hoisin Dressing

Let’s move on to the dressing. In a jar, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grapeseed or canola oil, mayonnaise, hoisin sauce, fresh ginger and Chinese 5 Spice powder. Screw on the lid tightly and vigorously shake until well mixed and emulsified. Set the jar of dressing aside.

Roughly chop 1 cup of roasted salted cashews. Add them to a bowl and grate the zest of two limes over the cashews. Add ยพ teaspoon white sugar and the juice of 1 lime. Use a fork to thoroughly mix. Set aside.ย

Mix the herbs and cashew crunch in really well. It’s best to let the salad sit for an hour or two in the fridge before serving. Just before serving, transfer the Glass Noodle Salad to a wide shallow serving dish and top with the remaining lime cashew crunch topping.
