Asian Deli Noodles

Asian Deli Sauce
3 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
2cm piece root ginger, minced or grated
2 tbsp soy sauce
1-2 tbsp sweet thai chilli sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 spring onions, chopped
handful corriander leaves
1/2 cup water

Salad
500g chinese noodles (udon, rice or spaghetti)
1/2 cup peanuts

Salad Garnish
2 spring onions
1/4 cup fresh corriander or mint, shopped
1 pkt mung bean sprouts
1 red pepper, diced

To make the Asian Deli Sauce, puree all the sauce flavourings, peanut butter and herbs until semi-smooth.

Prepare noodles to manufacturer's instructions. Drain and cool and place in a large bowl.

Mix through sauce and garnish ingredients. If planning to prepare ahead add a little extra oil to stop noodles sticking.

Variations
Add cooked chicken or shrimps.
Dressing can also be used as a drizzle for meat or mixed through stir-fry or used as a marinade.
Dressing keeps in fridge for weeks.
