Even though this is a cold Asian salad, the miso dressing with red pepper flakes and ginger make it feel comforting and satisfying. This is one of the recipes from my new Seriously Good Salads book - which has got salads to see you right through the year. Check out some of the other Winter recipes it includes further down in this post.
So how do we make this Asian Noodle Salad?
First boil some thin egg noodles in a pan with tenderstem broccoli until just cooked (about 3-4 minutes). Drain and run under cold water, then toss in a little sesame oil (to prevent the noodles from sticking) and put to one side. Next whisk up the miso dressing in a bowl - use white miso paste, olive oil, rice vinegar, lemon juice, honey, garlic, ginger, black pepper and red pepper (chilli) flakes.
In your serving bowl, add the noodles, broccoli, thinly sliced green cabbage, spiralized carrots, thinly sliced red pepper, spiralized cucumber and chopped fresh coriander (cilantro). Drizzle on half the dressing and toss together.
Sprinkle on black and white sesame seeds and serve this lovely Winter Salad with the rest of the miso dressing.
Pro Tip - Serve the salad warm:
If you would like to serve it warm, don’t run the noodles and broccoli under cold water. Just toss with sesame oil as soon as they’re cooked, then mix with the rest of the veggies (the heat from the noodles will warm the other veggies a little too). You can also warm the miso dressing in a saucepan for a few minutes before pouring onto the salad
