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! :)

Sweet and Tart Chinese Cellophane Noodle Salad Sweet and Tart Chinese Cellophane Noodle Salad

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

Chinese-style Cellophane Noodle Salad Chinese-style Cellophane Noodle Salad

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

Korean-style Spicy Cucumber and Cellophane Noodle Salad Korean-style Spicy Cucumber and Cellophane Noodle Salad

"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
