- For the salad, combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl and toss to combine. If serving right away, drizzle the peanut dressing over top and toss; otherwise, serve the dressing on the side so the salad doesn't get soggy.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles until al dente, according to package directions. Drain and rinse briefly with cool water to remove the excess starch and stop the cooking, then transfer to a large serving bowl. Add the broccoli cole slaw and carrots.
- While the pasta cooks, whisk together the olive oil, rice vinegar, honey, peanut butter, soy sauce, Sriarcha, ginger, and garlic. Pour over the noodle mixture and toss to combine. Add the peanuts and cilantro and toss once more. Serve chilled or at room temperature with additional Sriracha sauce as desired.

ASIAN PEANUT SLAW
Steps:
- Making the dressing: Warm the peanut butter in the microwave until slightly melted. This step can be skipped but makes it a bit easier to stir. Add the soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, rice vinegar, garlic chili paste, and ground ginger to a small bowl. Whisk together, adding water a little at a time until it reaches a smooth consistency. It should be thick but still pourable. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed - more soy sauce for salt, more lime juice for tang, more chili paste for heat, etc.
- In a large bowl, mix together all of the ingredients. Add the dressing. Mix well and enjoy. I like to let it sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to combine.

ASIAN RICE NOODLE SALAD
The best thing about this salad is how it comes together in no time at all. Asian rice noodles generally cook more quickly than wheat noodles and with the addition of the precut coleslaw mix the prep time is very minimal.

Steps:
- Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and set aside in a large bowl to cool (a few minutes in the freezer can help!). Cut the noodles up a bit with kitchen shears or a knife to make them easier to toss.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, lime juice, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
- Add the sauce, cilantro, peanuts, and slaw mix to the bowl with the noodles and toss until well combined. If desired, sprinkle in red pepper flakes to taste. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate for later.
COLD ASIAN BROWN RICE SALAD
I got this recipe from a friend who wrote it out for me from memory but never told me where it came from. It is a yummy blend of brown rice, veggies and my favorites- garlic and sesame oil. Serve it cold- we eat it at our summer beach bar-b-ques with grilled chicken. Yummm! Note: My friend recommened you start with 1 tsp sesame oil and add more to taste. Also- don't even think of trying to subsitute any other vinegar for the rice wine vinegar :0)

Steps:
- Cook the brown rice according to package. Or try it the way my friend says she makes it- boil it like pasta in a couple quarts of water and drain! I haven't tried this yet- let me know how it works.
- Meanwhile, prepare dressing and veggies.
- Toss rice with dressing and cool in fridge.
- Once cooled, add veggies and toss.
- If not serving right away, reserve peanuts until just before serving so they will not get soggy.
- Serve cold.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. For the best results, use brown rice that is fresh and fluffy, and peanuts that are roasted and unsalted.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables: This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add or substitute your favorite veggies, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
- Make sure to let the rice cool completely before assembling the salad: This will help prevent the salad from becoming soggy.
- Use a light hand when dressing the salad: You don't want the dressing to overpower the other flavors in the salad. A little goes a long way.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later: This salad is best enjoyed fresh, but it can also be chilled for up to 2 hours before serving.
