Ingredients
  

For the Asian Noodle Salad

  • 150g/6oz medium egg noodles
  • 1 large carrot, julienned thinly
  • 5 radishes, sliced thinly
  • ⅓ of cabbage head/3 cups red cabbage
  • 10g/1/4 cup cilantro
  • 2-3 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds

For the Peanut Dressing

  • 2 tbsp chunky peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar or any other plain vinegar
  • 4 tbsp soy sauce I use Kikkoman
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, pressed
  • 2 tsp Sriracha sauce or 1 tsp dried chilli flakes

Instructions
 

  • Cook the egg noodles according to package instructions. (Asian noodles cook faster than Italian pasta, so take care not to overcook.)
  • Meanwhile in a small bowl combine the chunky peanut butter, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, Sriracha sauce, grated fresh ginger and pressed garlic. Drain the noodles and put them in a large salad bowl. Then pour the peanut dressing over the hot noodles, so they can absorb the flavour properly. Cool until room temperature.
  • While the noodles are cooling, prepare the vegetables but slicing the red cabbage very thinly, using a mandolin slicer if available. Then cut the carrot into thin julienne, slice the radishes thinly. Slice the green onion and chop the cilantro.
  • When the noodles are at room temperature add the sliced red cabbage and radishes, julienned carrots, green onion, cilantro and sesame seeds. Toss to combine.

Notes

  • If you can't find egg noodles, you can substitute with Ramen noodles, vermicelli or spaghetti. 
  • Almond or Cashew Butter can be used in place of Peanut Butter.
