Simple cold noodle salad
It's been a while since I last posted a recipe. I am hoping this large gap won't occur again.
Here is a simple, light and fresh noodle salad. Healthy, easy to make and full of vibrant flavors. You can add some smoked trout mackerel or even some seared tuna file. You can add as much or as little vegetable variations as you like.
Here is what you need to serve 4
Vegetable suggestions; courgette, shiitake mushrooms, shaved fennel, red yellow paprika, butter beans, haricots vert, fresh baby spinach, sugar snaps.
1 full spring onion
Sprinkle of roasted sesame seeds
Handful of fresh coriander
Rice noodles - check pack for the amount needed for 4 portions
dressing
1/2 deseeded fresh chilli
1 tbsp cold pressed sesame oil
pinch of freshly grated ginger
2 tsp tamari or japanese soy sauce
1 tsp white wine or rice vinegar
*optional 1/2 grated garlic
Begin by slicing the vegetables of your choice into thin slices, all of these will be added raw to the salad so you want to be sure the veg you use is chewable. Specifically the beans and spring onion need to be sliced very thin.
Boil water for your noodles and cook according to the recipe. Once cooked rinse under cold water. Mix with the finely sliced vegetables.
Finely chop the chili and add to the rest of the dressing ingredients. Mix well and pour over the noodles and veg.
Finally chop the fresh coriander over the top.
