4 servings
For the salad
- 8 oz rice noodles (medium width, about 3mm)
- 1 english cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and julienned or coarsely grated
- 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
- 4 scallions, thinly sliced (green parts only)
For the dressing
- ¼ cup tamari
- 3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
Chef's tipUse the same amount. Maple syrup is a little thinner and less sticky than honey. - 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- 1 tsp chili garlic sauce
Ingredient noteThis recipe uses only a small amount of chili garlic sauce per serving, which keeps the fructose load low and makes it likely Low Fructose.
For serving
- 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
- 1–2 tsp chili oil (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook according to package directions until tender but still slightly firm, about 4–5 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse immediately under cold running water until the noodles are completely cool and no longer sticky.

While the noodles cook, whisk together the tamari, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, grated ginger, and chili garlic sauce in a small bowl until the honey is fully dissolved and the dressing is smooth.
