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.
