Previously, I had shared a Glass Noodle Salad Recipe in which I had added chicken breast meat. When I came back from Bangkok, I thought of making the dish again in the same way that I had it while there.
Less colours this time as this remake version of Glass Noodle Salad consisted of mainly glass noodles.
If you like more variety of seafood, feel free to include fresh squids, cured cuttlefish or even shellfish.
This is a really easy-to-make and quick recipe. Very healthy too. If you like a simple Thai style dressing of fish sauce, sugar and lime juice, you will find this very refreshing and appetising. Enjoy.
