Chinese style noodles cooled and tossed with vegetables and an easy flavourful sauce! This recipe can be made in 20mins or less, and can easily be added to your week’s meal prep.
I love how simple this dish is, and how the simple sauce accompanies the vegetables to provide a variety of flavours to the dish. A notable part of the dish is the chopped nuts! Nuts provide healthy fats and protein, as well as a crunchy texture.
This dish is inspired by the noodle salads that my grandma and my mother would bring with us every time we went on a trip. It’s definitely a money-saver and a nutritious meal to fuel us for our day out.
