Spicy Seafood Glass Noodle Salad

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Soak glass noodles according to the package until flexible, then drain.
2. Clean shrimp and squid carefully, keeping raw seafood separate from ready-to-eat vegetables.
3. Mix lime juice, fish sauce, minced chili and a little sugar into a punchy dressing.
4. Blanch glass noodles until translucent, drain and cut into manageable lengths if needed.
5. Poach shrimp and squid until fully cooked, then drain immediately to prevent toughness.
6. Toss warm noodles with the dressing so they soak up flavor.
7. Fold in cooked seafood, thinly sliced onion, tomatoes, celery and herbs.
8. Taste again, adjust seasoning and serve promptly before noodles clump.
