Ingredients:

3/4 cup rice noodles
170g
1 cucumber
250g
1 red pepper
80g
1 carrot
60g
1/3 cup ginger root
50g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1 tbsp peanut oil
16g
1 tbsp soy sauce
16g
salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables:
- Peel and julienne the cucumber, carrot, and red pepper into thin strips. Set aside.
- Peel and finely grate the ginger root.
- Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
2. Cook the Noodles:
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 3-5 minutes until tender.
- Drain the noodles and rinse them under cold water to halt the cooking process. Set aside.
3. Stir-Fry the Aromatics:
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the peanut oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Combine Ingredients:
- Add the julienned cucumber, red pepper, and carrot to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are slightly tender but still crisp.
- Add the cooked rice noodles to the skillet with the vegetables.
- Pour in the soy sauce and toss everything together to combine.
- Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes until the noodles are warmed through and evenly coated with the sauce.
5. Season and Serve:
- Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the warm noodle and vegetable salad to a serving plate or bowl.
6. Optional Garnish:
- For added flavor and texture, consider garnishing with chopped fresh herbs like cilantro or basil, or a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Tips:

- Properly soak rice noodles: Soak your rice noodles in warm water for about 10-15 minutes before cooking or as per the package instructions to ensure they are soft and tender.

- Julienne vegetables evenly: Cut your cucumber, red pepper, and carrot into even julienne strips to ensure they cook uniformly and provide the perfect texture for the salad.

- Fresh ginger and garlic: Use fresh ginger root and garlic for the best flavor. Finely chop or grate them to release their natural oils and enhance the dish's taste.

- Balance flavors: Adjust the soy sauce, salt, and pepper to taste to achieve the perfect balance of salty and savory flavors.

- Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed warm, so serve it immediately after tossing the ingredients together.

- Peanut oil substitution: If you don't have peanut oil, you can substitute it with sesame oil or another oil of your choice for a different but equally delicious flavor twist.

Enjoy your warm noodle and vegetable salad! This dish provides a wonderful medley of textures and flavors that are set off by the savory notes of soy sauce and the rich undertones of peanut oil. Perfect for a healthy lunch or dinner, this salad is sure to become a favorite in your meal rotation.
