Vegetable and Hokkien noodle salad

This delicious dish will become a firm favourite for weeknight dinners, and it’s perfect served cold for lunch the next day. Feel free to add a protein of your choice such as cooked chicken thigh – just panfry chicken thigh, slice and serve on top of noodles (again, hot or cold).

Ingredients

1 x 450g packet fresh Hokkien noodles

1 x bunch broccolini

5 roots from bunch of coriander, chopped

Leaves from bunch of coriander

Method

Cook noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and sprinkle with sesame oil to separate. Set aside and keep warm.

In a pot of boiling water, cook broccolini until al dente; remove and cut into small pieces.

In a frypan over medium heat, sauté coriander roots for a minute then add cabbages, capsicums, carrot and broccolini. Cook a further few minutes. Stir in curry powder and 5 spice then place in a large bowl with the noodles.

In the same frypan, add oil and onion, cook 5 minutes then add half the packet of bean shoots. Cook a further few minutes then add to the bowl of noodles. Add oyster sauce and chopped coriander leaves and toss noodles well.

Serve as a hot meal or allow to cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Top with additional crunchy bean shoots.
