Cold Noodle Salad | Emeril Lagasse

Boil salted water and add rice noodles and soba noodles.

Prepare an ice bowl with ice water to shock the noodles after cooking.

Once the noodles are cooked, transfer them to the ice water to stop the cooking process.

In a bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, and honey to create a dressing.

Taste the dressing to ensure balance of flavors.

In a large bowl, add the noodles and pour the dressing over them.

Add bean sprouts, cucumber, scallions, cilantro, carrot, toasted peanuts, and sesame seeds to the bowl with noodles.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

If the salad looks dry, add more sesame oil or soy sauce as needed.

Chill the salad in the icebox for a few hours or serve immediately.

Garnish with parsley or any herb of choice before serving.
