Easy noodle salad

EASY NOODLE SALAD

This recipe makes a large amount.  Just halve it if you like.  It is great as a salad or also can be warmed in the microwave later as leftovers.

10 pack of asian  2 minute noodles
1 Tablespoon fish sauce
4 tablespoons sweet chilli sauce
1/2 cup chopped coriander
1/4 teaspoon grated ginger
Zest and juice of 1 lemon or lime
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1/2 cup soy sauce

Cook 2 minute noodles and drain off water.  Mix the remaining ingredients in a jar and toss through the noodles.  If you like, just pour half the dressing mix, taste and then add as much extra as you like.

The you can add any quantity of vegetables/meat to suit yourself.  I usually add chopped spring onions, sliced snow peas, thinly sliced red capsicum, cooked prawns or BBQ pork.  It is really up to you to add what you like.

Week 1 powered by chocolate

As I sit here at my desk, I know where I would really prefer to be - in my kitchen.  Creating this blog will expand on my love of food as well as learning the art of blogging for the very first time.  I do feel a little nervous about the whole process but so far so good.  I plan to share some of my favourite family recipes and some of those have been passed down to me by various family members and friends.
