Smashed cucumber cold noodle salad with soft boiled eggs

Cold noodle salads are some of my favorite quick and easy meals because they take very little time, are tasty and refreshing, and they're a complete balanced meal in a bowl!I used soba noodles today, but I also use rice vermicelli and angel hair pasta.The vegetables below are just the ones I had on hand today, but you can use all kinds of crisp/crunchy veg like red or green cabbage, mung bean sprouts, yellow squash, sugar snap peas, jicama, bell pepper... endless possibilities!And for the protein, I had a package of surimi (krab) on hand, but you could also use deli ham or turkey, precooked shrimp, or the breast from one of those storebought rotisserie chickens.For the dressing, you'll want to start on the low end of the measurements and adjust up if needed.For efficiency, start knife work after you start boiling the water for the noodles, and continue while noodles are boiling, and everything should pretty much be ready to mix by the time the noodles are ready! :)#eatmoreveg

"Muru" (물) means water. "Nen-myon" (냉면) means cold noodles. "Bibimu" (비빔밥) means mixing."Muru-nen-myon" (물냉면) means cold noodles with soup."Bibi-mu-nen-myon" (비빔 냉면)) means cold noodles dressed with paste such as gochujang without soup.This is "bibi-nu" (비빔밥) of cellophane noodles, cucumber and chicken breast.If you can't find thick cellophane noodles, it's fine to use the thin variety.It looks red, but it is not as spicy red as you think. Gochujang is very spicy, though.Check the spiciness of your Korean chili at first before use. Recipe by pegupepepe

I made this on the spot using ingredients I had on hand.None in particular. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Quick, light, and healthy meal for warmer days

Heavenly and healthy! My favorite cucumber salad! All the taste of a traditional Thai peanut sauce without the nuts!

I hope u love it bc I know my family does!

I just felt like eating a cellophane noodle salad and created this recipe.Cook the noodle following the package instructions. Choose noodles that will withstand heat while cooking. The seasoning is an approximate, so adjust to your liking.Make this salad using leftovers in your fridge. Recipe by iju mama

Everyone loves cellophane noodle salad! I posted this recipe since my kids always ask me to make it. I'm eating it since I'm also on a diet.The ingredients ratio of this dressing is easy. This Japanese style dressing is really versatile! During the summer, I use this as a Chinese sauce. Recipe by Naomoka

I created this because I love cellophane noodles.Drain the ingredients well to prevent the dish from being watery.You could also add boiled snow peas, eggplants, and edamame. Instead of ham, you could use chicken breast or julienned egg omelet. Recipe by Yo-tan

When I used to make this salad and store in the fridge, I didn't like the salad becoming too dry since the cellophane noodles absorbed too much sauce.I added more soy sauce or vinegar to make it better, but I finally solved this problem by coating the noodles with oil!As a result, I could reduce the amount of flavoring ingredients as well.I recommend making this salad a little spicy by adding drops of ra-yu.If you serve this straight away, rinse the cellophane noodles in cold water. If you plan to eat it later, it's better to mix in the sauce right before you serve as much as possible!Add the sesame oil in the hot water, and drain. Don't add it over the drained noodles directly. This is key. Recipe by Shijimi24

My family's favorite salad.It's strongly seasoned with the ● seasonings, so adjust the sugar accordingly. Recipe by Eiyoushino recipe

I loved the "bansansuu" they used to serve for school lunch, so I re-created the dish from memory.The noodles are too long to eat as-is, so cut them up into easy to eat lengths after cooking them.If you mix the seasoning ingredients in a large bowl, add the noodles to the bowl later, you only have the one bowl to wash up.Rub the cucumber with salt and squeeze it out beforehand. If you skip that, the dish will become watery. For 6 servings. Recipe by Hamumaki

Very good and really easy to make!

I had some harusame glass noodles, but too little to turn into a soup or salad...so I tried deep frying them to use in a salad.If you try to shred the chicken breast while it's still hot, not only will your burn yourself but the chicken will dry out. Let it cool down with the plastic wrap still on, and it will remain moist. Deep fry the dried harusame glass noodles - don't soak them in water, or you'll have a disaster! In order to take full advantage of the crispy texture of the noodles, fry them just before serving. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by Chibikoro

I love cellophane noodle salad, so I wanted to make my own without buying it from the store. This recipe is easy to prepare and uses only one pot.You can try adding wakame seaweed, mushrooms, or thin slices of omelette!Leave a gap between the frying pan and lid while bringing it to a boil.After turning off the heat, let it cool while covered with the lid. Recipe by Mocchipekori-

this time i used flakes of ham bacoon ranch dressing and carrotts..

This is just a great fresh tasting salad, adjust the heat as you like or use red bell pepper instead of chilli for colour

I wanted to eat as much of my favorite Chinese style glass noodle salad as I wanted.It's easier if you cut the vegetableswith a slicer.Use the slicer to julienne the carrots and make fat cucumber slices.It's even more delicious if you let it chill in the refrigerator before eating. Recipe by Y's

The udon salad I had at a casual restaurant chain was delicious, so I recreated the dish.Frozen udon noodles are the best for this! Since this is served as a side dish, it's not a big amount, but if you are serving it on its own for lunch, try doubling the amount. Recipe by Obuusama

The cellophane noodle salad I once had at a Thai restaurant was so delicious that I couldn't forget it. So I tried re-creating it at home. I left out the fresh coriander (cilantro) leaves, which I don't like, and I think it came out pretty well. Sooo delicious!You don't have to have all the ingredients listed here. To make the salad look colorful and appetizing, it's a good idea to include both green and red ingredients. I recommend adding red and yellow bell peppers too.If you add in raw sweet onions instead of the regular onions here, you'll be able to enjoy their crispy texture. For an easy to make amount (3 to 4 servings). Recipe by yaburie.

When I was pregnant with my second daughter I was having trouble with loss of appetite during the summer and came up with this recipe. It's still a family favorite.Please use canned tuna in oil.The oil from the can will prevent the noodles from sticking, even if you don't eat this dish right away.If you don't have canned tuna in oil, add about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise at Step 3 for a different yet still delicious flavor. Recipe by kurukurumin

This is great for a light lunch; it's also good served with drinks.The trick is to leave the noodles firm. Be sure to remove any excess moisture from the noodles and vegetables. Recipe by Heartful Kitchen Rei

My doctor was mad at me because I gained a few pounds, instead of losing a lot of pounds. So I am trying some new, healthy recipes out. A Vietnamese sandwich place had this, only one near us, but it is underwhelming, to say the least. So I decided to try it. Boy am I glad I did.This is typically served at room temp. This turned out so good, and my blood sugar was good the next morning, a real win in my book. I love the freshness of this, and the flavors. This is more geared to come close to the real thing, but using ingredients easy to find in American stores. I like it spicier, so I did drizzle some hot sauce on my bowl. The wife liked it just this way with only the Vietnamese sauce I made here.There are a lot of steps, but you will find most only take a few minutes. And if you combine some steps, like blanch your veggies in the boiling water, remove them and then add the noodles, you can save a bunch of time.

A cool dish for a hot day

This is a pretty, fresh vegetable salad It goes with almost any main dish and can be a main dish with an added meat..Its best to add the dressing right before serving for CT the best flavor.

I wanted to eat something healthier than Chinese-style crystal noodle salad.Making sure the flavor is well-penetrated into the shirataki noodles, I guess. This is made easier by soaking it in lots of condiments. For 2 servings. Recipe by Rana
