Ingredients

1/2 pack (125g) green tea noodles
1/2 carrot, cut into matchsticks
100g snow peas, trimmed
1/4 red onion, finely sliced
1/2 cucumber, finely sliced
2 tbsp finely sliced fresh mint leaves

Dressing
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice

1 tsp mirin
1 tsp brown rice vinegar

Preparation

Bring a pot of water to a boil, add the noodles and cook until al dente using the “shock method”. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Set aside.

Bring another small pot of water to the boil and blanch the carrots, snow peas and onions separately until slightly crisp. Refresh each under cold running water. Slice snow peas in half lengthways.

To make the dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the orange juice, zest, ginger juice, mirin, brown rice vinegar, shoyu and sesame oil. Pour dressing over the noodles. Add the blanched and fresh vegetables. Mix thoroughly and top with fresh mint. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes before serving.

Hot Tips

Which oil for which type of cooking

Olive oil has well reported health benefits, however it does burn easily and has a strong flavour that can adversely affect your cooking. Oils with a high flash point (that can withstand high temperatures) include canola, sunflower and peanut. Of these canola carries the least flavour.

Glossary

Lard

Lard is a fine white fat, which is less used these days because of its high animal-fat content. It is used particularly for slow cooking but also for deep-frying and for making pastry.
