Ingredients

• 400 g Hokkien noodles
• 3 large Carrots
• 1 large Red bell pepper
• 1 large Cucumber
• 3 stalks Green onions (scallions)
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 0.25 cup Roasted peanuts
• 3 tbsp Soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Sesame oil
• 1.5 tbsp Rice vinegar
• 1 tbsp Lime juice
• 1 tbsp Honey
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Fresh ginger
• 0.5 tsp Red chili flakes
• 1 tbsp Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Place the Hokkien noodles in a large heatproof bowl and cover them with boiling water. Let them sit for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking, then set aside.

Step 2

Peel the carrots and use a julienne peeler or grater to slice them into thin strips. Slice the red bell pepper and cucumber into thin matchsticks.

Step 3

Chop the green onions into thin rounds and roughly chop the cilantro. Set these aside for assembly.

Step 4

In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and red chili flakes.

Step 5

In a large salad bowl, combine the drained noodles, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, green onions, and cilantro.

Step 6

Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

Step 7

Add the roasted peanuts and sesame seeds to the salad, saving a few for garnish if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or chill for 15-20 minutes to let the flavors meld. Garnish with additional peanuts, sesame seeds, or a sprig of cilantro before serving.
