Ingredients | Vegan Soba Noodle Salad

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

Directions

Whisk garlic, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, Sriracha, hoisin, and sesame oil together in a mixing bowl for the dressing.

Tear chicken apart into strands similar in width to the spaghetti. Refrigerate until ready to use.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water.

Transfer spaghetti to a mixing bowl; add the chicken, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions. Pour in the dressing and toss by hand until well combined. Seal the surface of the salad with plastic wrap and refrigerate, tossing occasionally, for 2 to 12 hours, the longer the better.

Add peanuts, basil, mint, and cilantro to the salad. Toss well; taste and adjust for seasoning.

If you don't have leftover chicken, watch this video for Lighter Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and follow the directions to make a great poached chicken breast.

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