Noodritious Vietnamese noodle salad
Our Vietnamese rice noodle salad is very versatile and you can serve it either hot or cold. You will feel its Asian spirit through the tangy and savoury Vietnamese dressing. What’s so special about the Vietnamese noodle salad dressing? It is made from spring onions, jalapeño, vinegar, honey, olive oil, water, parsley, mint, and basil leaves and turns our rice noodles into green noodles. If you want the green sauce to be spicier, add a whole jalapeño without seeds instead of ½ a jalapeño. Vietnamese foods aren’t generally spicy but if you’re going for a more Thai-inspired recipe — make the green noodles tangier!
Tofu — Soy healthy!
Tofu adds protein and other nutrients to our Vietnamese noodles. Tofu contains essential amino acids, fats, carbs, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. Tofu originated in China when a Chinese cook accidentally curdled soy milk by adding nigari seaweed. It’s just a legend but a plausible one. Tofu, or bean curd, is actually made by curdling fresh soya milk, pressing it into a solid block, and then cooling it. Traditional dairy cheese is derived in about the same way. A 100g serving of tofu typicaly provides 8 grams of protein and only 70 calories. Some firmer tofus have even more. If you’re meal prepping for weight loss, this is a great ingredient to add. In our Vietnamese noodle salad recipe, tofu maintains all its nutritional quality intact as we’re serving it raw. With the right seasoning (soy sauce, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper) it’ll taste delicious!

Vietnamese noodles with herbs — rooting for weight loss!
Herbs and spices have always been very important because of their acclaimed medical properties and culinary use. They may provide multiple health benefits like anti-inflammatory properties, and reduce the risk of some diseases. Parsley, mint, and basil leaves, as well as chilli flakes, enrich the Vietnamese noodle salad recipe with benefits as they are among the healthiest herbs and spices. All these herbs and spices can also be weight loss stimulating because they improve digestion, metabolism and store nutrients.
