Thai Green Noodle Salad with Spicy Sesame Sauce
This Thai green noodle salad has one of the most delicious spicy peanut sauces ever. Combined with tons of healthy vegetables, herbs and noodles it makes for a vibrant but easy midweek meal. Thai food has to be one of my favourite styles of food, it helps that they are one of the most vegan friendly cuisines too. The spices, the crunchy vegetables, fresh herbs and moreish noodles create the most satisfying plates of food. This recipe can be made in advance and or kept in the fridge for an easy lunch or dinner.
To start with, you need to cook noodles by just following the packets instructions.
Now that you’ve got the noodles cooking away, use a food processor to blend the spicy sauce ingredients together.
Grab a large bowl and add combine the shredded vegetables, herbs, green chilli, drained edamame beans, and mix everything together.
Now add in the noodles, and remove the spicy sauce from the blender and pour over the salad mixture making sure it’s all coated nicely.
Garnish with the sesame seeds, a sprinkle of coriander and serve.
