When the covid lockdown was in full swing at the beginning of the year and a visit to a restaurant seemed soooo far away, I had cravings for the things that I normally like to order in my favorite restaurants.

This also includes the glass noodle salad with tofu, which is available at Kitti Chai. So I sat down and rummaged through my memory of everything that goes into the salad. The trickiest part was the dressing. But at some point I had put together a mixture that came very close to the original.

And now the recipe before you start drooling. 😉
Enojy your meal!
