Indonesian Noodle Salad

This fresh tasting, Asian inspired noodle salad is speedy & nutritious. I always make this when am super lazy or in a mood to eat low fat food for a change. This noodle salad then comes to my rescue. Its tasty, quick and super filling. :)

Ingredients:

• 100 g medium egg noodles
• 1/2 cucumber (sliced into thick baton)
• 1 bell pepper/capsicum (any colour, sliced)
• 1/2 red onion (thinly sliced)
• 4 tbsp sweet soy sauce (preferably ketjap manis, an Indonesian soy sauce)
• 1 lime
• 1 tbsp roasted peanuts (coarsely crushed)
• 1 egg (soft or hard boiled)
• 1/2 tinned cannellini beans (this is completely optional. I simply added it to my salad. You can use any other tinned beans or completely omit it)

Method:

1. Cook the noodles in boiling water until just tender. Drain & arrange on a serving platter. Top with cucumber batons, sliced bell pepper & onion. Add the beans at this stage if you want.
2. Drizzle over the soy sauce & squeeze over the lime.
3. To finish, sprinkle over the crushed roasted peanuts & top with the halved boiled eggs.
