Ingredients Needed:

For the Salad:

• 125g (4½oz) soba noodles
• 1 sheet nori (seaweed), finely shredded
• 2 daikon or 5 red radishes, finely sliced
• 2 spring onions, finely sliced on the diagonal
• 1 small red pepper, deseeded and finely sliced into thin strips
• 1 large carrot, peeled and coarsely grated
• 1 celery stick, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp chopped flat-leaf parsley

For the Dressing:

• 2 tbsp pickled ginger, finely chopped
• 4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp olive oil

How To Cook Noodle Nori Salad:

1. Cook the Noodles: Cook the soba noodles according to the packet instructions. Once cooked, drain and refresh them in cold water to stop the cooking process. Drain again and set aside to cool.
2. Prepare the Dressing: In a small bowl or jug, combine the pickled ginger, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, and olive oil. Mix well to combine.
3. Combine the Salad: In a large bowl, add the cooled soba noodles, shredded nori, daikon (or radishes), spring onions, red pepper, grated carrot, sliced celery, and chopped parsley.
4. Season and Dress: Season the salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss everything together to coat well.
5. Serve: Serve the salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving.

Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Always choose fresh vegetables for the best flavor and crunch. Check for bright colors and firm textures when selecting your ingredients.
• Cool the Noodles Properly: After cooking, make sure to refresh the soba noodles in cold water to stop the cooking process. This helps keep them firm and prevents them from becoming mushy.
• Mix the Dressing Well: Whisk the dressing ingredients thoroughly before adding them to the salad. This ensures an even flavor throughout the salad.
• Adjust the Seasoning: Taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasoning. If it needs more flavor, add a bit more soy sauce or a splash of vinegar to suit your taste.
• Serve Chilled: For the best experience, chill the salad in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
