No Cook Vermicelli Noodle Salad with Tangy Dressing

This is a super reasy no-cook  Noodle Salad with a Tangy Dressing! It’s hearty and super refreshing at the same time. It’s perfect for meal-prep and NO COOKING IS REQUIRED! Talk about a win-win. This is also great for meal-prep and you can add your veggies, herbs, and protein of choice. 

VERMICELLI NOODLES

I used these thin vermicelli noodles for this recipe and soaking them can cook them completely until chewy, which is why I prefer to use these for a no-cook recipe.

You’re free to use other noodles of choice such as rice noodles or even rice vermicelli but do not that these noodles may require you to boil them to completely cook down.

SOAKING THE NOODLES

  • Place the noodles in a large heat proof bowl. Pour in boiling hot water to completely submerge the noodles. Leave the noodles to soak and rehydrate for 8-10 minutes or until cooked and chewy to your liking. The noodles will turn translucent and almost white (but also depending on the type of noodles you use!)
  • Drain the noodles from the water and then run the noodles through running water. You can add some ice cubes to quickly cool the noodles.
  • Be sure to strain the noodles well to remove excess water that could water down the salad dressing later on.

PREPARE THE TANGY DRESSING

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

  • lemon juice
  • soy sauce
  • sugar
  • maple syrup or other liquid sweetener
  • toasted sesame seeds
  • sesame oil

Feel free to adjust everything to your desired taste! If you want it less sour, feel free to add more sugar to sweeten.

The full recipe is in the card below.

Vegetables, Herbs, Protein (totally up to you!)

  • 1 small carrot thinly sliced or grated
  • 1 small red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 small green bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 small red onion thinly sliced
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Chopped mint
  • Chopped basil
  • Pickled radish and carrot see homemade recipe here
  • Pumpkin seeds other chopped nuts/seeds of choice (peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc)

MIX AND ENJOY YOUR NOODLE SALAD!

  • Prepare a large bowl. Add the noodles, vegetables, protein (if using), nuts/seeds, herbs, and then pour in some of the dressing. Mix everything to coat well.

Storage and Make-Ahead Tips

  • This is best enjoyed cold! I like to prepare mine in advance and store it in the fridge for 1-2 hours so the noodles really soak in the flavours of the dressing. The vegetables do lose some of their crunch so you can add vegetables when ready to enjoy.Do note that keeping the noodles in the fridge overnight can cause them to dry up a bit.
