Mooli and sesame salad

Name: Mooli and sesame salad

Yield: 2

Starter Serves 2 15 min

A fresh vegetarian cold noodle salad with strips of crunchy veg. This is good for a simple, healthy dinner or in a lunch box. Add strips of cooked chicken if you'd like more substance. A mooli, or daikon, is a mild, crunchy kind of radish. You could use ordinary radishes in its place, but include a smaller weight as they'll be more peppery.

Ingredients

100g rice noodles
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 mooli (about 200-250g), peeled and cut into thin batons
1 carrot, peeled and cut into thin batons
1 red pepper, de-seeded and cut into thin batons
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar (or use white wine vinegar)
handful fresh coriander leaves, roughly chopped
