Ingredients
Rainbow Noodles:
3 bundles (100 g) dry rice noodles or dry vermicelli
1 tsp Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder
1 tsp Suncore Foods® Purple Sweet Potato Powder
1 tsp Suncore Foods® Ebony Carrot Powder
1 small cucumber thinly sliced
1/2 small red bell pepper (30g), thinly sliced
Fresh cilantro leaves
Fresh mint leaves
Fresh thai basil leaves
Chopped roasted peanuts, optional
Tangy Lemon Jasmine Dressing:
1 tbsp Suncore Foods® Jasmine Flowers
1/4 cup boiling hot water
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp coconut sugar or other sweetener
Directions
1. Place the vermicelli noodles in 3 separate heat proof bowls. Add 1 tsp each of the Suncore Foods® Powder in each (if using). Pour boiling hot water into the bowl until the noodles are completely submerged. Leave to cook for 6-7 minutes or until chewy and cooked through. Drain the excess liquid and leave the noodles to completely cool.
2. Place Suncore Foods® Jasmine Flowers in a bowl then pour in boiling hot water. Leave to sit for 5 minutes. Mix the rest of the dressing ingredients. Taste the dressing and feel free adjust the sweetness and tanginess, as you’d like. Set aside.
3. Place the sliced vegetables and herbs along with the noodles in a large bowl. Pour over the dressing and then mix everything until well-incorporated. You can refrigerate the salad for the flavours to infuse better. Enjoy!
