HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

02

In a large bowl, combine the cooked chicken, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, and chopped cilantro.

03

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, and grated ginger until smooth and well combined. If the dressing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of warm water until it reaches a pourable consistency.

04

Add the cooled noodles to the bowl with the chicken and vegetables.

05

Pour the peanut dressing over the noodle mixture.

06

Toss everything gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

07

Serve immediately or chill for at least 15 minutes for enhanced flavors.

Chef's Tips

For extra crunch, add 1/4 cup of chopped roasted peanuts or cashews before serving. A pinch of red pepper flakes can be added to the dressing for a touch of heat.

Easy Substitutions

Tofu or shrimp can be used instead of chicken for a vegetarian or pescatarian option. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, red cabbage, or edamame. Agave nectar can replace honey.

Storage & Reheating

Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The noodles may absorb more dressing over time, so you might want to add a splash of water or extra lime juice when reheating.
