Asian Noodle Salad: Gluten Free and Vegan

May 19, 2014 By Garden Fresh Foodie

I ordered a spiralizer and it came in the mail today! I couldn’t have been more excited to test it out!  On hand, I had cucumbers, carrots, and kale (oh my!). I decided to throw them all together in a cold noodle salad.  The cucumbers are a cinch to spiralize, the carrots were a little bit more of a challenge. Watch how easy it was for my son to do it: So Easy To Spiralize

Spiralized CarrotsSprialized Cucumber  There is a noodle stand I dream of. It’s in Ithaca, NY at their farmer’s market. Each summer we go there and I can’t wait to get my salad fix. This was my adaptation of that noodle salad using the ingredients I had on hand. The original had cilantro, lime, and kimchi added to it-feel free to add any of these in if you have it!Cold Gluten Free Asian Noodle Salad We served grilled scallops with this, but next time it’ll be BBQ tofu. Stay tuned for the update! Ingredients:

  • 8 oz of brown rice spaghetti noodles
  • 2 carrots sprialized (if you don’t have one, use a peeler to create long thin strands)
  • 1 English cucumber spiralized (again, if you don’t have one, use a peeler or make long thin cuts)
  • 3 c greens, we used kale and beet greens
  • 2 tbsp Tamari (gluten free soy sauce)
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar or honey/ginger or citrus flavored vinegar
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp sambal oleek (Asian chili paste), more if desired
  • *Optional: Serve with 1 1/3# grilled/seared scallops that have been tossed with 1 tsp sesame oil, salt/pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Cook pasta, drain, and cool
  2. Toss pasta with Tamari, vinegar, oil, and chili paste
  3. Spiralize or thinly cut carrots and cucumbersSprialized Carrots and Cucumbers
  4. Saute greens in water 3 tbsp of water until just wlited.  Add in carrots until heated (about 2 minutes)Sprialized carrots and sauteed kale
  5. Let greens/carrots cool slightly, then add to pasta. Add in cucumber noodles. Top with roasted sesame seeds if desired. Gluten Free Asian Noodle Salad
  6. If using scallops: drizzle with oil, salt, pepper. Grill until translucent (about 3-4 minutes per side)
  7. Serve with Noodle Salad (we also threw in some grilled asparagus because it’s fresh from the garden and we love it so!)Asian Noodle Salad and Grilled Scallops
