Fresh Asian noodle salad
This is one of those salads which tastes so amazing that you have to keep making it! It’s spicy, zingy and really gets your tastebuds going.Soak the noodles in a bowl of warm water until soft, then drain and put back in the bowl. In a hot wok fry the beef and five-spice in the olive oil until brown and crisp, then add the garlic, ginger, prawns and sugar and stir-fry for another 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir the wok mixture into the noodles. Add the spring onions, lime juice, fish sauce, chillies, coriander, mint and peanuts to the bowl. Toss well and correct the seasoning — it wants to be quite zingy with the lime juice. Sprinkle with some extra herb leaves if you like and serve cold.
Try this: You can modify the recipe by using a little wok-fried squid, shellfish or different minced meats.

cooked this on the weekend, was so delicious, with lots of fresh herbs from my garden and chillies! delish! was great to serve straight up with the meat still warm and the noodles cold and the cold leftovers the next day were even tastier..definitely one to whip out at a dinner party..

I'm looking for Jamie's Cole Slaw recipe. He made it on his Jamie at Home show.
It used yogurt and root vegetables.
