Noodle bowl salad
Here is a straightforward way to make Noodle bowl salad at home, with a clear ingredient list and step-by-step instructions you can follow without guesswork.

- Level Medium
Ingredients
- 125 g Rice Noodles
- 200 g Sugar Snap Peas
- 2 tsp Sesame Seed Oil
- 4 Chopped Spring Onions
- Handful Coriander
- 150 g Hot Smoked Flaked Salmon
- To serve Pretzels
- 3 tbsp Soy Sauce
- 1 tbsp Clear Honey
- 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 tbsp Ground Nut Oil
- 1 clove Finely chopped Garlic
- Knob Ginger
Method
- Drop the noodles into a large bowl, then pour over enough boiling water to cover. Tip in the sliced sugar snaps and leave for 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, put under cold running water to cool off, then drain again. Tip into a bowl and toss in the sesame oil.
- Mix the dressing ingredients. Pile spring onions, coriander and salmon onto the noodles, pour over the dressing and toss everything together. Serve with a pretzel or bread roll.
Tips for the best Noodle bowl salad
- Use a kitchen scale for the dry ingredients if you have one — baking is less forgiving than cooking.
- Let the salmon come up to room temperature for 15 minutes before cooking so it cooks evenly.
- Taste as you go. Seasoning at the end is fine, but adjusting halfway through gives a more balanced result.
Variations
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Fusion twist: keep the method but swap the spices for your own favourites — the Vietnamese base takes well to it.
- Vegetable boost: stir in a handful of spinach, peas or diced peppers in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving ideas
Serve slightly warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a spoon of thick cream.
Storage
Keeps in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days, or refrigerated for up to a week. Most versions freeze well for 2 months.
