Coming from our love of all things noodle and all things seafood, this lovely salad is a match made in heaven between the gentle, wheaty flavour of the noodles, the sweet sea-y taste of the prawns, and the crisp green crunch of the cucumber, all sitting beautifully with the sweet, fairly spicy, fruity dressing.
Dressing:-
1 tbspn soy sauce
1 tbspn rice vinegar
2 tspn miso
1 dstspn mirin
1 dstspn sesame oil
1 tbspn very finely chopped chives
1 tspns sweet chilli sauce
1 hot red chilli, very finely chopped
The rest
200g cooked shrimps, peeled (we do it with a combination of pink and brown, and it works a treat)
160g fine noodles
½ a cucumber, quartered, de-seeded and cut into 1cm slices
150g radishes, as finely sliced as you can
1 heaped tspn sea salt
Put the cucumber into a bowl and mix in the sea salt, set aside
Cook the noodles as directed on the packet, refresh in a sieve under cold running water, drain well, set aside
Combine the dressing ingredients
When the cucumber has been sitting 10 minutes, drain, rinse briefly, pat dry with kitchen paper, then combine with the dressing, noodles and shrimps in a big bowl. Leave to sit for 10 minutes, then serve
