Questions about Noodle salad

Which noodles work well in a cold noodle salad?

Egg noodles, rice noodles and soba all work. Cook them just until tender, following the packet instructions, so they hold their shape when tossed with dressing and vegetables.

How do you stop noodles sticking together in a salad?

Drain them as soon as they’re cooked and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking and wash off excess starch. Shake off the water, then toss with a little dressing.

What goes well in a British-style noodle salad?

Try cucumber, carrot, peppers and spring onions with cooked chicken, prawns or tofu. A sesame-and-soy dressing or a little sweet chilli sauce gives it the familiar takeaway-style flavour.

Can you make noodle salad the night before?

Yes. Chill it promptly in a covered container and keep it in the fridge; use it within two days. Keeping the dressing separate until serving helps the noodles and crunchy vegetables keep their texture.

How do you keep noodle salad safe in a packed lunch?

Pack it straight from the fridge into an insulated lunch bag with a frozen ice pack, and keep it cool until lunchtime. Don’t leave it sitting at room temperature for hours.

What can you use instead of noodles in a noodle salad?

For a noodle-free version, use finely shredded cabbage or a mix of grated carrot and cucumber, then add the same dressing and toppings. These stay crisp when packed for lunch.

Which has more energy per 100 g, noodle salad or pasta salad?

Pasta salad has more: it provides 185 kcal per 100 g, compared with 93 kcal in noodle salad.
