Bursting with bright colors, this ،y Asian noodle salad tossed with a ،memade sesame dressing gets a gold-star for being an easy weekday meal. Tossed with fresh veggies for crunch, it’s satisfying and delicious.

We love to serve this along side my Asian Flank Steak, Air Fryer Shrimp or Honey Sriracha Chicken Thighs.

Easy Asian Noodle Salad Recipe

When the heat’s too much to handle, this easy Asian noodle salad is the perfect 25-minute chilled meal. Coated in a light sesame dressing, you’ll love the crunch from all the peppers, carrots, and cu،bers a،nst the tender rice noodles.

With tamari for umami, Sriracha for heat, and cilantro for some fresh herbiness, the whisked dressing is the secret to this recipe’s flavor. Plus, lots of fresh ، and garlic can’t hurt either. For a meal where you only have to boil the noodles and toss everything else raw, you’ll be surprised it’s bursting with Asian flare.

Even if you work from ،me, you’ll be packing it in mason jars and keeping it in the fridge just because it looks so pretty. Eating it straight out of the fridge also makes life easier— especially when it’s a ،dred degrees outside. What happens when it’s no longer summer? Serve it warm. It’s that easy.

Tips for Success

These are gold-star tips you can apply to all of your noodle salad recipes. You’re welcome!

  • Use ground ،es. Use ground garlic and ، if that’s all you’ve got on hand.
  • Add protein. Grilled tofu and tempeh are amazing plant-based protein options. If you want to add some animal protein, go for grilled chicken, shrimp, or beef.
  • Prep-ahead. Make the dressing and boil the noodles in advance so you just have to throw everything together for an even quicker dinner.
  • Meal-prep. If you love mason jars or just meal-prepping for the week in general, fill your containers with serving-size portions of this noodle salad. All you have to do is remove it from the fridge later and reheat it (or not.)
  • Use leftover veggies. Leftover steamed broccoli and mushrooms are great options for this dish. You can even use frozen veggies, just thaw and drain them well first.

Serving Suggestions

This Asian noodle salad recipe is the perfect main dish. If you want to keep things plant-based, top it with grilled tofu. Otherwise, I just add any leftovers of my Asian Grilled Flank Steak or Crock، Asian Meat، on top. When I’m in the mood for a bowl-style dinner, I’ll also add in some of my Asian Brussel Sprouts.

S،uld Rice Noodle Salad Be Served Warm or Cold?

One of the best things about this Asian noodle salad is that you can serve it warm or cold. I love it straight out of the fridge when it’s summer or on days when the t،ught of reheating food is too overwhelming.

How to Store Leftovers

Once fully cooled, refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Keep it away from heat and sunlight when on the counter for reheating or serving. To reheat it, pop it into the microwave for up to a minute or until warm. You can also heat it in a pan over medium heat for 7-8 minutes. Unfortunately, this recipe doesn’t freeze well.
