Super delicious Rice Noodle and Grilled Veggie Salad

May 23rd, 2007 by Nikki

My hubby made this meal for my birthday!  We served this dish our delicious Shrimp Scampi.  It’s also great served with pork chops marinated in Asian Marinade (which is also the sauce used for this salad).  Enjoy!

asian noodle salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. Sambal Oelek (found at an Asian food market or specialty store)– can use chili paste in it’s place.
  • 1 tbsp. soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp. Hoisin Sauce
  • 1 tsp. sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp. peanut oil
  • 2 large red bell pepper, seeded, stemmed and quartered
  • 1 yellow onion, cut in 1/2 ” thick slices
  • 1 avocado, pitted and peeled
  • juice from 1/2 lime
  • 12 oz. rice noodles
  • 1/2 c. packed cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 tbsp. Canola Oil
  • kosher salt and black pepper

Directions:

  1. Prepare the sauce: combine rice wine vinegar, Samal Oelek, soy sauce, hoisin sauce and sesame oil to a small bowl. Whisk the ingredients until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
  2. Place rice noodles in a bowl and cover with warm water. Set aside.
  3. Toss the peeled avocado with lime juice to prevent oxidation.
  4. Add the avocado, bell pepper, and onion to a bowl. Drizzle with canola oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
  5. Add the onions, bell peppers and avocado to the grill. Grill the veggies over medium high heat for abut 3 minutes per side or until grill marks appear and the veggies become nice and tender. Note: We did ours inside in a skillet over high heat until they were browned on each side. They were equally as good.
  6. Remove veggies from the grill.
  7. Drain the water from the rice noodles and place them in a covered skillet or wok with a tablespoon of peanut oil for about 3-5 minutes. Toss occasionally to keep the noodles from sticking. You want them ‘al dente.’ Remove from heat and add to a large mixing bowl.
  8. Chop the grilled veggies into bite sized pieces and add them to the noodles. Also add in the roughly chopped Cilantro and the sauce from step 1. Toss all the ingredients together until all the noodles and veggies are thoroughly blended and coated with sauce.
  9. ENJOY!!!
