Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the noodles

    Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the flat rice noodles and cook for about 4-5 minutes or until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the vegetables

    In a large bowl, combine the julienned carrot and broccoli florets. If you prefer, you can blanch the broccoli for 1-2 minutes for a softer texture.

  3. 3

    Combine the ingredients

    Add the cooked flat noodles to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss in the sliced pickled peppers and sesame seeds.

  4. 4

    Make the ponzu sauce

    In a small bowl, mix together 3 tablespoons of ponzu sauce with a teaspoon of sesame oil. Adjust to taste.

  5. 5

    Dress the salad

    Pour the ponzu sauce over the noodle salad and toss well to combine all ingredients evenly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving or serve immediately at room temperature.
