  4. Mix Noodles: Add the cooled vermicelli noodles to the bowl with the vegetables and gently toss to combine.
  5. Prepare Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, and chili sauce until well combined.
  6. Dress the Salad: Pour the spicy ginger dressing over the salad mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure everything is coated.
  7. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving platter, sprinkle with crushed peanuts if using, and enjoy!

Notes

  • For a main course, add grilled shrimp, chicken, or tofu.
  • Store undressed salad and dressing separately for best leftovers.
  • Use tamari for a gluten-free option.
  • Omit peanuts or substitute with sesame seeds for a nut-free version.
