Asian Noodle Chicken Vegetable Salad with Chile Scallion Oil

Asian Noodle Chicken Vegetable Salad with Chile Scallion Oil is so good I had to share it with you.

The original recipe came from Epicurious, I made a few adjustments to make this a favorite with the whole family including adding extra veggies, since we can never have enough, and a minor tweak to the Chili Scallion Oil to keep the heat at a medium burn.

I was actually praying Colt would forget the leftovers for lunch, but he was on it, and said it only improved on day 2. I can't wait to make it again, the kids have asked to take it for lunch when they head back to school.  I seriously can't live without the Chili Scallion Oil, the star anise adds a wonderful flavor, and leaves the house smelling delicious!

If you have members of your family who don't like the heat serve the Chili Scallion Oil on the side. It was even delicious without the Chili Scallion Oil but it really adds some nice complex flavors to send this salad over the top!

Here's how to make this absolutely delicious Asian Chicken Pasta Salad and the most amazing Chili Scallion Oil:

In a small pot add: 

• 1/2 cup Grapeseed Oil
• 2 Thinly Sliced Scallions
• 2 cloves Minced Garlic
• 2 whole Star Anise Pods
• 1 tablespoon Crushed Red Pepper
• 1 tablespoon Grated Fresh Ginger

 Bring to a simmer over medium heat and reduce heat to low, cook until garlic starts to brown and mixture is fragrant. Make sure not to burn the garlic.

Cool and then store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

(I cut back on the crushed red pepper because even though my kids like heat they don't like anything too hot. I also omitted Sichuan Peppercorns because I couldn't find them at the grocery store, and it was still delicious.)

To make Soy Sauce Vinaigrette whisk together:

• 3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 3 tablespoons Unseasoned Rice Vinegar
• 3 teaspoons Sugar
• 2 teaspoons Sesame Seed Oil

 Until well combined.

Cook 9.5 ounces Japanese Wheat Somen Noodles and rinse under cold water. Drain well. 

In a large bowl drizzle with 2/3rds Soy Sauce Vinaigrette. 

(Noodles can be cooked ahead of time and tossed with a little sesame seed oil and refrigerated until ready to use.) 

Add to bowl:

• 1/2 whole English Cucumber Sliced Thin
• 1/2 whole Red Bell Pepper Sliced Thin
• 4 whole Radishes Sliced Thin
• 1 cup Shredded Carrots
• 1 cup Mung Bean Sprouts
• 1 handful Cilantro Leaves Roughly Chopped
• 2 whole Scallions Sliced Thin

Add 2 1/2 cups Cooked Chicken. 

Drizzle with remaining Soy Sauce Vinaigrette, and toss until well combined.

Tip: I cooked the chicken the night before in the Chili Scallion Oil and refrigerated it. It was so good! 

Drizzle Asian Noodle Chicken Vegetable Salad with Chile Scallion Oil or serve Chile Scallion Oil on the side to customize each individual plate. 

Asian Noodle Chicken Vegetable Salad with Chili Scallion Oil is perfect to enjoy cold on a hot day but delicious enough to carry into the cooler months and still be a favorite! The flavors are amazing!
