A vibrant and flavorful noodle salad with a spicy kick, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Prepare the vinaigrette by whisking together the soy sauce, olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic, and Sriracha in a mixing bowl.
Let the vinaigrette sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Cook the spaghetti in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the noodles with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents them from sticking together.
In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, napa cabbage, carrot, cilantro, and shrimp.
Toss the ingredients gently to avoid breaking the noodles.
Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
