For chicken, use grilled or shredded cooked chicken. It adds a nice texture and flavor. If you like shrimp, sauté them until they are pink and tender. Toss them in just before serving. For a plant-based option, try cubed tofu. Make sure to pan-fry it until golden. This gives the tofu a crispy edge. Each option enhances your salad, making it a full meal. If you want to keep it vegetarian, skip the meat and stick to the fresh veggies. Add more protein-rich ingredients like chickpeas or edamame. They will add nutrients and keep you full. You can also try adding sliced avocado for creaminess and a boost of healthy fats. Adjust the flavors with extra lime juice or a splash of soy sauce for more depth.

Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for another 30 seconds if needed. Add a splash of water to keep it moist. Freezing this salad isn’t the best option. The texture of the noodles and veggies can change. However, if you want to freeze it, do so without the dressing and peanuts. Store the noodles and veggies in a freezer-safe bag. When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge, then add fresh dressing and peanuts before serving. This way, you maintain the salad's crunch and flavor.

You can use it as a sauce for other dishes. However, be cautious; never use raw marinade again on cooked food. Always prioritize safety when dealing with raw meat and marinades.
