Pot Noodle Idea Asian Coleslaw with Crispy Noodle
Are you looking for a way to make your next pot noodle into a salad? Yes you heard me right, a quick and easy salad using pot noodles.
A wonderful salad to take to a picnic, serve as part of a BBQ or have as a packed lunch. It is essentially a coleslaw with an Asian twist. I hope food snobs don’t judge my use of instant noodles as an ingredient. The noodle element is merely a quick cook pasta and if you choose your brand wisely (read the label) they will not contain any additives or hydrogenated fats. You don’t use the MSG filled sachet of seasoning. When I bought mine, the cheapest on the shelf was the healthiest, in terms of containing no additives or preservatives. Don’t let price dictate your choice, do read the labels instead.
