Serves: 8
Course: Side Dish
Cooking Time: 0 hr 45 mins
Ingredients
  • (serves 8)
  • Salad
  • 100g soba noodles.
  • 2 carrots
  • 2 courgettes
  • ½ red cabbage
  • 100g mangetout
  • bunch spring onions
  • Dressing
  • 3 tbsp tamari
  • 3 tbsp lime juice (2 limes)
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 25g sesame seeds – for sprinkling over
  • salt & pepper
  • You can really play loose and fast with the prep for this salad, but the one thing it mustn’t be is chunky. First up, cook the noodles in plenty of boiling water (they’re quite starchy) for five minutes before rinsing well in cold water.
  • I have a spiraliser, but if you don’t, just use a peeler, julienne peeler or food processor to grate your veg and otherwise transform it from raw veg into ribbons or grated veg. In a large bowl, make the dressing before adding in just the grated/spiralised cabbage and letting it ‘wilt’ for about 30 to 45 minutes before adding in the rest of the raw ingredients and tossing well to mix up those flavours. Serve with the seabass.
