A great healthy, vegetarian and easy Rice Noodle Recipe I developed for David Lloyd Clubs inspired by the flavours of Thailand (watch the video to see how to make it).
This rice noodle recipe is really easy to make, healthy and totally vegetarian. It’s packed with flavour from all the lovely Asian style vegetables and is literally cooked in 8 minutes – the time is takes to soak the rice noodles.
I really enjoy recipes like this, fast and easy, but also not too prescribed; grab what you can and as many vegetables as you can get chopped up the better.
The whole recipe is brought together with a punchy and fresh Thai style noodle dressing that you can make yourself.

This Rice Noodle Recipe is all about celebrating the new season, shaking off those winter blues and starting to enjoy lots of lovely fresh herbs and citrus dressings.
You can turn this quickly into a carnivorous dish, adding steak works really well as seen in my Thai Style Beef Salad with Rice Noodles, or equally enjoy a little shellfish with my seafood Thai Inspired Rice Noodle Salad. But either way, having a meal packed with vegetables is great for your body.
