Bean Thread Noodles with Pickled Vegetables

This vibrant bean thread noodle salad is a masterclass in balancing fresh, zingy flavours with satisfying textures. This dairy-free dish relies on a punchy dressing of lime, ginger, and fish sauce to bring the julienned daikon and carrots to life. The transparent noodles, also known as glass noodles, provide a light and silky base that carries the aromatic herbs and salty crunch of roasted peanuts beautifully.

Ideal as a healthy midweek lunch or a refreshing side dish for grilled fish, this salad is as versatile as it is colourful. The vegetables can be prepared and kept in the fridge up to two days in advance, allowing the pickling juices to deeply penetrate the crisp radish and cucumber. It is a fantastic option for those seeking a fragrant, homemade meal that is naturally low in fat yet high in impact.
