My all-time favourite thai noodle salad – Make this today and tomorrow’s lunch is sorted!
Raw ingredients make up the bulk of this thai noodle salad, meaning this is the perfect meal for a summer picnic or when you are wanting something incredibly flavourful that will yield plenty of leftovers without spending hours in the kitchen over a hot stove/oven.
This recipe is for a large thai noodle salad and the reason for that is, each time I’ve gone to make it myself, I always find myself returning for a second helping (at least) and it’s not because it’s not filling – the noodles (and tofu if using) give it oomph that will fill your belly just fine, it’s the flavours made up of ginger, sesame, maple, garlic and chilli that will have your tastebuds demanding an encore!
To make up a nice big batch of this thai noodle salad that will easily feed 4 people or have your next day’s meal prep sorted you’ll need the following:
Equipment: Large Salad bowl, food processor, Saucepan for rice noodles and the ingredients below.
A hot tip: for a mega meal, make sure you use tofu or do as I do and marinate your tofu in a satay sauce and pile on top of this salad. It’s so good that I rarely order this out anymore. We don’t have that many decent thai restaurants around us anyway but when you can make a huge serving of this for relatively little dollars, why would you fork out the big bucks.
