Spicy Chicken Noodle Salad
Ingredients List
For the Dressing:
-
3 cloves garlic, crushed
-
½ cup seasoned rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
1 tablespoon fish sauce
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 tablespoon Sriracha chile sauce
-
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
-
1 teaspoon sesame oil
-
1 cooked chicken breast
-
1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
-
1 cup grated carrots
-
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
-
4 green onions, thinly sliced
-
½ cup chopped roasted, salted peanuts
-
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
-
⅓ cup chopped fresh mint
-
⅓ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, whisk together garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, hoisin sauce, and sesame oil to create the dressing.
Shred the chicken into thin strips similar in size to spaghetti. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender but firm, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Place the cooked spaghetti in a mixing bowl and add the chicken, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions. Pour the dressing over and toss by hand until everything is evenly coated. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, tossing occasionally, for 2 to 12 hours. The longer it sits, the better it tastes.
Add peanuts, fresh basil, mint, and cilantro to the salad. Toss thoroughly, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Chef's Tips

For the best results, use a mandolin slicer to julienne the carrots.
