3/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
3 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 red jalapeño or serrano chile, seeded, chopped
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil

1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped fresh mint
1 cup chopped toasted salted peanuts
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Warm vinegar, sugar, and salt in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and jalapeño. Cool. Mix in lime juice, sesame oil, and lime peel.
  • Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well. Rinse under cold water; drain again. Transfer noodles to dish-towel-lined platter to drain. Transfer noodles to large bowl. Add dressing and toss to coat. (Can be prepared 6 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
  • Add cucumber, mango, basil, and mint to noodles and toss gently. Arrange salad on platter. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Garnish with lime wedges. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Cover and let stand at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: This recipe calls for thin rice noodles, but you could also use other types of noodles, such as udon, soba, or ramen. Just be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
  • Use ripe mango: The sweetness of ripe mango pairs perfectly with the other flavors in this salad. If your mango is not ripe, you can try ripening it at home by placing it in a paper bag with an apple or banana.
  • Grate the ginger finely: This will help the ginger flavor to permeate the cucumber and dressing.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so be sure to refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

This noodle salad with mango and gingery cucumber is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer meal. The combination of sweet mango, tangy ginger, and crunchy cucumber is simply irresistible. Plus, this salad is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences.
