Ingredients
for Oriental Noodle Salad
Dressing:
6 tbsp Ancient Greek Vinaigre
3 tbsp toasted sesame oil
3 tbsp clear honey
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salad:
2 x 150g packs ready-to-wok noodles (thin or medium)
150g (6oz) mangetout or sugar snap peas, halved
1 large leek, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, thinly sliced
2 heads pak choi, broken into separate leaves
1 bunch spring onions, thinly sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and thinly sliced
1 red or green chilli, deseeded and thinly sliced
How
to make Oriental Noodle Salad
- First
of all, make the dressing by whisking together the
Ancient Greek Vinaigre, sesame oil and honey in a
large salad bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and
pepper.
- Put
the noodles into a large heatproof bowl and cover
them with boiling water. Leave them to soak for 3
-4 minutes, rinse with cold water, then drain thoroughly.
Add them to the dressing.
-
Cook the mangetout or sugar snap peas, leek and carrot
in lightly salted boiling water for 2 - 3 minutes,
so that they are still crisp and colourful. Drain,
rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
- Add
to the salad bowl with the pak choi, spring onions,
red pepper and chilli, then toss everything together
gently until mixed. Serve at once.
Chef's tip:
Marinate 225g (8oz) of large cooked peeled prawns
in the dressing for 10 minutes before adding the rest
of the ingredients - then toss everything together.
