This green vermicelli noodle salad uses fresh herbs, vermicelli noodles, and homemade sauce as dressing. This is a counterpart to Thai noodle salad Vietnamese noodle salad, that you’ll surely love.
Green Vermicelli Noodle Salad
This is the best salad for me. I am not a salad fan, but this is one of those salads that I often make. This salad is in our meal rotation. Even my husband and son eat this a lot.
You can customize this however you want. replace the chicken meat with pork, or beef, and add your favorite green vegetables.
In this recipe, I used zucchini from the garden and I also harvested mint and basil from my herb pot, so I added a large amount of them here. I highly recommend these herbs as it adds extra delicious flavor
Ingredients
- Vermicelli Noodles – I used 4 oz of Vemicille noodles in this recipe. You can use rice noodles as well.
- Zucchini– I used zucchini because I have a lot of zucchini in my garden. In this recipe, I spiralized the zucchini since I just want to use my spiralizer, but you can cut it however you want. You can cube it, julienne- slice it however you want.
- Cilantro, Mint, Basil – I highly recommend using them. It is just so good combo with these herbs. My herb plant box is in full bloom, so I use a large amount of them.
- Beef – in this recipe, I simply seasoned the beef with salt and pepper and fried it with a small amount of oil. I then sliced it. I used beef Milanesa cut, but you can use the readily slices stir fry beef. You can also used grilled chicken breast or pork if you want.
How do you make it?
- Prepare the ingredients– I always prepare my ingredients ahead of time. As a working mom, I am so tired when I get home, that I am too exhausted to prepare meals after work; so I try my best to prepare our meals ahead of time. In this case, I wash and chop the veggies the night before and I marinate the beef as well. You can also cook the beef ahead of time. Make a huge batch of the meat for the next meal. I cook the vermicelli noodles when I get home the next day.
- About the noodles– Boil five cups of water and add the vermicelli noodles. Let it cook for 4 minutes and wash it with cold water to stop the cooking. Set aside.
- Fish sauce Dressing– I used Vietnamese sauce for this recipe. Check the recipe —-> Vietnamese Fish Sauce
