Back in the days when I needed a packed lunch, this glass noodle salad was one of my regular dishes.
There’s minimal effort and cooking involved (bonus) and it holds up well in a lunch box when made the night before. You could even have it for tea and make extra for lunch.
It’s light, healthy, colourful and full of vibrant flavours. The chilli kicks you right into the afternoon with renewed vigour.
And you could totally serve this to your children – keep all the bits and pieces separate and let them build their own dish.
