Peanut Sauce
Ingredients
¾ cup (200g) crunchy peanut butter
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon lime juice
4 tablespoons boiling water
Method
Slowly whisk together peanut butter, garlic, soy and lime juice. Whisk in boiling water until it comes together into a smooth sauce. Set aside
Noodle Salad
Ingredients
6 eggs
Dried chilli flakes (optional)
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
200g dried flat rice noodles
2 cups (160g) shredded red cabbage
1 carrot, finely shredded
4-6 radishes, thinly sliced
4 green onions, finely shredded
½ cup (85g) edamame
½ cup chopped fresh herbs such as coriander, mint and Vietnamese mint
Roasted peanuts to serve
Method
Whisk egg, chilli flakes and sesame oil together
Heat half the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and pour in half the eggs. Swirl the pan to spread eggs evenly and cook for 1-2 minutes, until the eggs have set and the centre is still soft. Transfer to a plate to cool. Repeat with remaining oil and eggs to make 2 omelettes. Roll up and slice into 1cm thick ribbons
Meanwhile, soak noodles in boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain and refresh with cold water. Drain well and add to a salad bowl along with remaining ingredients. Top with egg omelette ribbons, drizzle with peanut sauce, sprinkle with herbs and roasted peanuts. Serve immediately
Tips & Hints
If the oil is separating from the sauce (this can happen from the oil in the peanut butter, but it's easy to fix!), add a few drops of water at a time and whisk until it comes back together
For a quicker salad, toss a bag of shredded salad mix from the supermarket with the rice noodles, green onions and edamame
