Method

Cook the rice noodles according to package directions, then drain and rinse with cold water until cool to prevent sticking.

10 minutes

While noodles cook, whisk together orange juice, olive oil, minced garlic, five-spice powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create the dressing.

Place the cooled noodles in a large mixing bowl and add the steamed snow peas, sliced red bell pepper, orange segments, sliced mushrooms, and bean sprouts.

Pour the prepared dressing over the noodle and vegetable mixture and toss gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated.

Divide the salad among four serving bowls or plates and serve immediately, or refrigerate covered until ready to serve.
