Can I Freeze The Sesame Peanut Noodles?

Our answer

Nigella's Sesame Peanut Noodles (from NIGELLA EXPRESS) is a recipe for a chilled noodle salad with a slightly spicy peanut dressing. It is perfect to have in the fridge for a quick lunch or dinner or to have as a packed or box lunch. We include, as much as possible, make ahead and storage information in the "Additional Information" box below the recipe method. If there is no freezing information, it usually means that the recipe is not suitable for freezing.

Unfortunately, this particular recipe does not freeze well as the vegetables and noodles both become soft when they thaw and you lose some of the contrasting textures in the salad. In addition, the raw vegetables have a slighty unpleaseant texture once they are thawed. However, the Sesame Peanut Noodles will keep for 3 days in the fridge and it is easy to make a half or even a quarter quantity of the recipe if you need less portions.
