Ingredients
  

For the salad:

  • 8 ounces noodles long noodles like linguine or spaghetti
  • 1 cup red cabbage shredded

  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • 1-2 teaspoons sriracha

Instructions
 

  • Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.
  • Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning—add more lime juice, soy sauce, or sriracha as needed.
  • Combine the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, green onions, and cilantro in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the cooked noodles to the bowl and pour the dressing over everything.

  • Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors come together.

Notes

Chef Jenn’s Tips

  • Rinse the noodles well with cold water after cooking—they’ll stay springy and not stick.
  • Let the salad sit a bit before serving so the flavors all come together.
  • You can add other veggies, like julienned zucchini, baby spinach, sliced mushrooms, and more.
