They’re so refreshing, colourful and scrumptious and contain all the best nutrients your body needs to keep pushing through the summer.

An easy peasy noodle salad made using wai wai instant noodles and fresh vegetables. It is a cooked noodle salad and not a raw noodle salad. I will share the instant noodle salad raw version soon in my blog so do keep a watch and follow my blog.

As mentioned this salad couldn’t be much easier. You’ll start with boiling the noodles for just 1-2 minutes and then finely chop all the veggies. To make ramen noodle salad, you’ll put fresh chopped red cabbage, mixed of yellow green capsicum, carrot, english cucumber, spring onions, cooked wai wai noodles, parsley and salad dressing if using and toss to mix well together and you’ve got the perfect side dish.

Here’s a great tips on how to make a soup from the stock retained from while cooking the noodles. You can make a soup by using the stock. Just add ½ cup water and bring to boil. Garnish with chopped parsley and season with pepper and serve it as soup along with the salad. If you try it out the recipe, let me know how you like it!
