Hokkien Noodle Salad


This recipe is from a book called "Healthy Cooking - A Commonsense Guide" and it's great!  I love how fresh and crisp it is, and the Asian flavours of the dressing really make it.  It comes in at only 265 calories, but is very satisfying - a perfect weeknight meal!

Ingredients (serves 4)
450g Hokkien noodles
200g broccoli, cut into florets
4 spring onions, sliced
1 red capsicum, thinly sliced
1 green capsicum, thinly sliced
1 carrot, diagonally sliced
100g snow peas, sliced
100g fresh baby corn, halved lengthways
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander leaves
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup sweet chilli sauce
1/4 cup light soy sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice

Method
Gently separate the noodles, place in a  heatproof bowl and cover with boiling water.  Leave to stand for 2 minutes, then rinse under cold water and drain well.

Boil or steam the broccoli for 3 minutes, or until bright green and tender.  Rinse under cold water and drain.

Place the noodles, vegetables and coriander in a large bowl and mix well.

Combine the sesame oil, sweet chilli sauce, soy sauce and lime juice.  Pour over the salad and toss to coat.
