This cold noodle salad with pork mince and green vegetables is a flavourful dish inspired by Asian cooking. The medium noodles are cooked, rinsed in cold water and tossed with juicy pork mince that has been fried and coated in a punchy marinade of soy sauce, hoisin, lime, ginger and garlic, among other things. The result is a dish full of authentic flavour.
The salad is served cold and topped with lamb’s lettuce, avocado, cucumber, spring onions and peanuts for freshness and crunch.
You can also add other vegetables of your choice, or use whatever you have in the fridge. It is a tasty, versatile dish the whole family will love.
