YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Food Pimp your noodles Mango and rice noodle salad with crab By You Magazine - February 21, 2021 Crab might be a treat, but a little goes a long way in this full-flavoured salad – with sweet mango balancing sharply dressed noodles. Andrew Hayes-Watkins SERVES 2 TAKES less than 15 minutes 200g straight-to-wok rice vermicelli noodles 1⁄2 large, ripe mango, peeled and thinly sliced into half-moons 2 spring onions, thinly sliced on the diagonal Small handful of mint leaves Small handful of Thai basil leaves Small handful of coriander leaves 100g white crab meat, fresh or tinned (drained) FOR THE VIETNAMESE-STYLE SWEET & SOUR DRESSING 1 1⁄2 tbsp lime juice 1 tbsp fish sauce 1 tbsp caster sugar 11⁄2 tbsp water 1 fresh red chilli, diced Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions, then cool. For the dressing, whisk all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl. Tip the noodles into the dressing and toss to coat a few times. Add the mango, most of the spring onion, all of the herbs and 1 tbsp of the crab meat. Toss very gently to work all of the ingredients through the noodles. Divide the noodles between bowls or plates then top with the rest of the crab meat and scatter with the remaining spring onion. TIP For salads, cook or soak the noodles so they are ready to eat, then rinse under cold water to cool quickly. Drying on kitchen paper is a good way to avoid watery salads and diluting the dressings.
