Thai noodle salad is always a crowd pleaser. It has lots of amazing textures and Thai inspired flavors you will love.
Thai Noodle Salad is loaded with bean sprouts, grated carrot and green onions so there is lots of amazing flavor and texture happening. If you like peanut butter you will love this salad. It doesn’t have a heavy peanut butter flavor, it’s just right. And I love the crunchy chopped peanuts and cilantro on top.
Everyone in my family loves this dish, and I think yours will too!

So I just finished making this salad for the second time in ONE week. The first time it was good… really good, but this time I felt more familiar about the ingredients and it came out even better. I used a whole box of linguine because that’s how it comes and I didn’t want to try to figure out how much 12 oz were vs 16 oz. So, I just upped all the ingredients (except chili garlic sauce-yikes! even just 1 T is hot) a bit over the original recipe which made it saucier (which was good, because the first batch became understandably a little dry as time went on) and this batch ROCKS. The flavors are so good.
A couple of things I did to make it even more exceptional was I only put 1/2 of the bean sprouts in at the beginning and then kept adding more as we at the left overs because I like crunch factor and bean sprouts tend to cook pretty easily in the warm noodles. And because I like the crunch factor so much I also added chopped peanuts–again, some while dish was hot, and more as time went on. I’m thinking maybe next time I’ll even add some water chestnuts to the sauce before adding it to the pasta.
The whole thing takes only about 30 minutes to make (including cooking the noodles) so it’s a dish worth having in your arsenal. Now, I want to have a dinner party just so I can make this for my friends.
I am so happy to have found this recipe, THANK YOU so much for posting it!

I love that you love it!! I’m with you on the crunch factor, the more the better and I love the tweeks you made. Thanks!
Patty says
I would love to try this, can it be made without bean sprouts?
Leigh Anne says
Sure, just leave them out.
SinNH says
Can this be made without pasta? I’m trying to cut carbs by any means without sacrificing taste. I have a veggetti spiralizer, maybe spiralized zucchini?
Leigh Anne says
I have never done it that way but I don’t see why not. Let me know what you think.
