Notes

Noodle Choice: Bean thread noodles (glass noodles) work best, but you can substitute rice noodles or soba noodles for a different texture.
Make Ahead: You can prepare the salad ingredients and sauce in advance. Combine just before serving to keep the salad fresh and crisp.
Protein Boost: For extra protein, add crispy tofu, edamame, or chickpeas.
Storage Tips: Store leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The noodles might absorb some sauce; add extra dressing if needed.
Spice Level: Adjust the amount of red chili flakes according to your spice tolerance, or omit completely for a mild flavor.
Visual Guide: For a better understanding of the recipe and preparation process, I highly recommend watching the video recipe above.
