Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 8 oz glass noodles see notes
  • 4 cups shredded or chopped salad greens
  • 1 cup grated carrot
  • 1 cup cucumber sliced in thin half moons

For the Harusame Sauce

  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 3 tbsp seasme oil
  • 2 tbsp honey or other sugar of choice

For the Garnish

  • 1/4 cup peanuts
  • 1 cup cilantro, chopped or other soft herbs like basil, mint etc

Instructions
 

Step 1: Prepare the Noodles and Vegetables

  • Cook the Noodles: Follow the package instructions to cook the glass noodles. Once cooked, drain and allow them to cool slightly.
  • Arrange the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, place the cooled noodles. Add the grated carrots, chopped salad greens, and cucumber slices. Toss gently to combine.

Step 2: Harusame Sauce

  • Whisk the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the dark soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and honey. Whisk together until the ingredients are well blended and the sauce is smooth.

Step 3: Finishing the Salad

  • Top with Fresh Herbs and Nuts: Sprinkle the salad with green onions, fresh cilantro, and chopped peanuts for added flavor and texture.
  • Drizzle with Harusame Sauce: Pour the Harusame sauce over the salad and toss until the noodles and vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4: Add Protein (Optional)

  • Choose Your Protein: For a heartier dish, add your choice of protein. Options include baked tofu, pressure-cooked chicken breasts, or grilled shrimp. Arrange the protein on top of the salad.

Notes

Glass Noodles: You can purchase at some grocery store chains. I purchase my sweet potato glass noodles through Thrive Market. Glass Noodles are also available on Weee! and Amazon.
