I always make a large vat of these since they're lovely to pick at in the fridge. Plus, although they're easy to make, you do need quite a few ingredients - and this holds true whether you're making a small or big batch, so you may as well go all out.

I buy ready-cooked egg noodles from the supermarket, which make these even faster to fix.

  • I made this for a few packed lunches, and substitued snowpeas for green beans, as they are significantly cheaper. Put some chilli oil in the dressing too. And added some firm tofu that I lightly fried. Very good, and accidentally vegan too!
