Mango and prawn noodle salad with miso dressing
Loaded with crispy texture and fresh flavour, this Asian-style noodle salad is a sure-fire hit.
Start by placing the chopped mango, miso paste, mirin seasoning and one teaspoon of the sesame oil in a blender and blend into smooth.
Place half a cup of the miso mixture in a bowl with the prawns, toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to allow the flavours to develop. Meanwhile, cook the noodles following package direction, drain and then refresh under cold water.
Heat a little oil in a nonstick frying pan over medium high heat at half the prawn mixture and cook turning for four minutes or until the pawns are lightly charred and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining oil and prawn mixture. Combine the reserved mixture with vinegar in a separate bowl. To assemble the salad, arrange the noodles, cucumber, mango wedges and chilli on a large serving platter. Pour over half the dressing and gently toss to combine. Top with the prawns and drizzle with extra dressing to serve. This is a great fresh salad for when you have friends over.
