Working time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 45 minutes

tastes both lukewarm and cold

Clean the bell peppers, remove the seeds, and cut into thin strips. Clean the spring onions and slice them diagonally into thin rings (e.g., wash the coriander, pat dry, and roughly chop the leaves). Roughly chop the peanuts and roast them in a non-stick pan without oil. When they’ve reached the desired browning, place them on a heatproof plate to prevent them from turning black and let them cool. Clean fresh snow peas or remove frozen snow peas from the bag, blanch them in salted water for about 3 minutes, then refresh with cold water and set aside. Cook the glass noodles in boiling salted water according to the package instructions and drain when they have the desired consistency. Place the noodles in a large salad bowl and cut them in half several times with scissors so they can be easily eaten with a fork. Wash the mung bean sprouts or soy sprouts, drain them, and add them to the noodles. Wash the chicken breast fillets, pat dry with kitchen paper, and trim if necessary. Then cut into thin strips or slices. Heat sesame or peanut oil in a large, raised-sided pan and sear the chicken until crispy. Season with salt and pepper. Add the bell pepper strips, fry for 4-5 minutes, and then add both to the noodles. Briefly sauté the spring onions in the still-hot pan and add them to the noodles along with the snow peas, peanuts, and chopped cilantro. Mix everything together and season with soy sauce to taste. If you like it spicy, you can also add sambal oelek. Tip: Leftovers are great for eating 1-2 days later; you may just need to add a little more seasoning, as the salad will retain its flavor.
