Vermicelli Noodle Salad Recipes

Vermicelli Noodle Salad Recipes

Here you will find a collection of some of my all time favorite Vermicelli Noodle Salad Recipes that hail from both Vietnam and Thailand. Both countries make similar salads with the Thai versions be a bit stronger due to the extra fish sauce that is typically added to the SALAD DRESSING that it is served over top of the salad. Besides that the ingredients in each salad are pretty much all the same! Being that Vietnamese’s noodle salads and Thailand Noodle salads are all made with vermicelli noodles and an array of vegetables. 

I’m obsessed with these type of salads and make them often. Matter of fact I have this salad at least once per week in my home during the hot summer months! 

Vietnamese Salad dressing vs Thai Salad dressing

Both dressings have the same ingredients ironically but traditionally the Thai dressing will have much more Fish sauce making it more strong and more salty. Also you can use sugar or honey in either of the sauces to sweeten it up. 

WHAT IS IN both THE DRESSINGS

  • Fish sauce
  • Rice vinegar 
  • Lime Juice
  • Sugar
  • Garlic 
  • Sliced Green & Red Thai chilies

You can find the directions for each dressing in each individual recipe, feel free to tweak the ingredients as per your personal preferences. Example, more fish sauce for more salty flavor, more lime juice for more tang and more chilies for more heat.

Most Popular Canadian Food

I have compiled a list from my blog of the Most Popular Canadian Food the “Traditional Canadian food”. Such as Bannock to Butter Tarts to Beef Barley Stew. Then we have the popular Poutine and Tourtière which are French Canadian foods. I will be adding to this list over the coming months to include more recipes like Nanaimo bars, Saskatoon berry pie, Lobster rolls and Bloody Caesars. 

This list goes back hundreds of years, however today this list has evolved to include recipes from around the World. You can find a diverse set of recipes from this site by simply going to the search bar on this site. So without further ado here is my list of recipes from the most popular Canadian food.

TRADITIONAL CANADIAN FOOD

I have to start this post with Canada’s National food dish. Which is the Poutine!

  1. Most Popular food in Canada > The Poutine

The Poutine hails from Quebec, Canada and is fresh French fries covered in cheese curds which are then smothered in a hot beef gravy that helps to melt the cheese.

2. Canadian Butter Tarts

These Canadian Butter Tarts are made with just a few simple ingredients and has become our go to recipe.

3. Maple Candied Bacon

Maple Candied Bacon can be made in the oven or in your air fryer. And is made with a few simple ingredients. That of Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar and Bacon of course. 

4. Cherry Slushies

I have added Cherry Slushies to this list as I think it should be here, don’t you? Canada is one of the largest producers of Lambert Cherries and these cherries has been grown in the Pacific Northwest for over almost 150 years. Me and my family love to enjoy them all summer long and have for decades. 

5. Fried Bannock

This Traditional Fluffy Fried Bannock Recipe is super easy to make and an excellent breakfast or snack food that is ready in less than 15 minutes. 

6. Canadian Tourtiere

This Best Tourtiere Recipe also know as Tourtiere de Maman is a Canadian meat pie that is spiced. And is the perfect recipe to accompany your holiday festivities.
