How to Make Asian Shrimp Salad
- Cook 8 ounces of soba noodles in a large pot of boiling water for 3-5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain and rinse immediately under cold water to stop the cooking process and prevent sticking. Set aside to cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss the cooled soba noodles with the dressing.
- Refrigerate the noodles for at least 30 minutes to chill thoroughly.
- While the noodles chill, prepare the chili-lime sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup chili garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro.
- Refrigerate the chili-lime sauce until ready to serve.
- In a large bowl, combine the chilled noodles with 1 cup of your favorite vegetables (e.g., shredded carrots, sliced bell peppers, shredded cucumber).
- Divide the noodle mixture evenly among 4 plates.
- Arrange 4 ounces of cooked shrimp on top of each noodle portion.
- Drizzle each plate generously with the chili-lime sauce and a spoonful of hoisin sauce. Garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions.
