Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 – 2 packets of 2-minute noodles
- 5 cups finely shredded cabbage
- ½ cup finely sliced sugar snap peas optional
- 1/3 cup of flaked almonds toasted
- 1/3 cup sunflower seeds toasted
- +-2Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
- 6 spring onions finely sliced white and pale green parts
Dressing:
- 2 Tbsp + 2 tsp soy sauce
- ¼ cup red wine vinegar
- 1/3 cup sunflower oil
- 1 tsp sesame oil optional
- ¼ cup runny honey
- 1 x garlic clove minced
- 1 heaped tsp grated ginger
- 1 – 2 tsp wasabi paste or one red chilli finely sliced, or a ½ tsp dried chilli flakes (optional to add heat)
Instructions
- Cut up all the vegetables and mix together in a large bowl.
- Heat the grill element of your oven and break up the noodles onto a baking sheet and toast for about 10 – 15 cm under the grill until golden brown. Keep a close eye as they burn quickly and shake the pan a few times during the grilling process. Set aside.
- Dry pan fry the seeds until they start to pop and turn golden brown. Remove from the pan to prevent carry-over cooking and set aside.
- Put all the dressing ingredients into an empty jar and shake around.
- Toss the dressing, seeds, noodles, and nuts together and serve immediately.
Notes
This salad is best eaten freshly made when all the ingredients are very crunchy but it will keep in the fridge for 2 days (even though the salad will soften).
