NO-COOK NOODLE SALADS, easy, substantial

No-cook Noodle Salads for a Heatwave

Chinese Noodles are a really great vehicle for whole-meal salads during a heatwave.  

First, they don't need to be cooked.  Just pour boiling water over, leave for 5-7 minutes till tender, drain and rinse.  Then add a variety of raw and/or cooked veg, protein and a tasty dressing.  

Score!  Happy family, happy cook.

Chinatowns are the best source (London has 3 Chinese supermarkets on and around Gerrard Street in Soho) but a surprising number of UK supermarkets stock Asian noodles as well as bamboo shoots and water chestnuts.  Dieters' Delight green bean starch/glass noodles are apparently available at large Sainsbury's.
