🥭 A Bright, Fresh Take on Southeast Asian Noodle Salads
This refreshing noodle bowl brings together the tart bite of green mango, the smooth richness of peanut-calamansi dressing, and the cooling crunch of fresh vegetables.

🌶️ A Fusion That Works
🌶️ A Fusion That Works
Green Indian mango adds the iconic asim-tamis Filipino tang, while sotanghon noodles soak up all the creamy, nutty dressing. Calamansi brightens everything up with its citrusy zing, and wansoy (cilantro) brings a herbaceous lift that ties it together. It’s bold, colourful, and hits all the sweet-salty-sour notes Southeast Asian dishes are known for.
If you love cold noodle salads, this version will quickly become a go-to—simple enough for weekdays but special enough for entertaining.
🥜 Creamy Peanut-Calamansi Goodness
🥜 Creamy Peanut-Calamansi Goodness
Unlike heavier peanut sauces, this dressing stays light thanks to calamansi and a touch of coconut or brown sugar. A dash of patis adds savoury depth, while siling labuyo brings optional heat for those who want it spicy. Every strand of sotanghon gets coated in this silky dressing, giving you maximum flavour with minimal effort. ✨
