Yum sen lon

Yum sen lon is a Laotian noodle salad made with cellophane noodles (also known as glass noodles), pork belly, and fresh vegetables. Because the noodles themselves aren't really flavorful, the most important part of this recipe is using highly aromatic, spicy, and savory dressings to complement the texture of the noodles.

Typically, the dressing contains red chilis, garlic, fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, and salt. The most commonly used vegetables in the salad are bell peppers, celery, garlic, and shallots. Pork belly or ground pork add another layer of richness to the dish, while mint and coriander leaves are often used for garnish.
