Cirilian Noodle Salad was a noodle and vegetable dish, specifically a type of salad, concocted by the Gilliand Z'Vk'Thkrkza, or "Aunt Z." It drew inspiration from her Cirilian Sour Paste beverage. After leading a group in rebellion against the First Order to the planet of Takodana, she later crossed paths with Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs, and they exchanged culinary knowledge. Subsequently, in 34 ABY, Tuggs included a recipe for Cirilian Noodle Salad in his first published cookbook, The Life Day Cookbook, a holiday book where he noted its deliciousness, but lamented that it wasn't quite the same without Aunt Z.
Jenn Fujikawa and Marc Sumerak authored Star Wars: The Life Day Cookbook, which introduced Cirilian Noodle Salad to the world. The cookbook was released on November 9, 2021. Before the book's publication, StarWars.com provided a sneak peek of the salad on November 1 of the same year.
The out-of-universe dressing recipe calls for chili sauce, rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, and black pepper. The rice noodles are prepared with water and red cabbage. The salad itself features cabbage, carrots, snap peas, a scallion, sesame seeds, and a lime.
