Other than the salad ingredients, I also made some garlic oil to act as the salad dressing.
Ingredients For Garlic Oil:
50ml Of Olive Oil
4 - 5 Cloves Of Garlic
Method:
1. Preheat a small saucepan with drizzle of olive oil, then add in the garlic cloves and saute it till fragrant.
2. Pour in the remaining olive oil and saute the garlic till slight golden brown, dish up and set aside for later use.
Ingredient For Salad: (serves 2)
2 Individual Packet of Koka Purple Wheat Noodles
4 Slices of Breakfast Ham
2 Hard-boiled Egg, halves
8 Cherry Tomato, halves
50g Fresh/Frozen Corn Kernel, blanched
Some Salad Lettuce
2 Tablespoons Garlic Oil
Method:
1. Cook the eggs in a small saucepan under medium-low heat for about 4 - 6 minutes from the time the water boiled.
2. Removed from heat, rinse and peel off the shell then cut into halves and set aside.
3. Bring another pot of water to boil, cook the instant noodles according to the packet instruction, rinse with cool water and set aside. (rinse with cool water to stop the noodle from further cooking and also to make it taste spongy)
4. You can either blanched the Ham with boiling water or you can pan-fry it under low heat for about 30 second on each side with some Olive oil.
5. Next, drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil on the cooked noodles, toss it well with the blanched corn kernel and cut tomato.
6. To assemble the dish, place some lettuce on the plate, place the noodles mixture on it.
7. Top with ham, hard-boiled egg and you can drizzle some extra garlic oil and serve it warm.



This noodles salad is really colorful and refreshing..^_^
ReplyDeleteWow, first time seeing purple noodles! my first thought was that it must be made with yam but I see I was wrong. What does it taste like? Does it have a berry taste?
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,

ReplyDeleteHi Lia Chen,
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about that "purple noodles" even though u can't get it over there :) You can always replace it with your favour noodles :o
What is the purple coloring they use?
ReplyDeleteHi tigerfish,
ReplyDeleteAccordingly to the packaging it stated that "the purple colour from the noodles comes from its ingredients which is the "Purpleberry flour" that is the combination of purple wheat and purple corn. " :)
