Method

  1. Boil the soba noodles in plenty of salted water for about 5 mins or according to pack instructions - they are very starchy, so use a lot of water. Drain and rinse with cold water, pat dry with some kitchen paper, then tip into a large bowl. Add the cucumber, mango, onions and prawns.
  2. Mix the dressing ingredients together, pour half over the salad, then gently toss together - using a couple of forks or pair of tongs will make this job easier. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with the remaining dressing.

    So fresh and zingy and healthy - will make this again definitely. Really fast as well - perfect light dinner after work, but also very satisfying.

    This salad was beautiful. So simple yet so tasty! I didn't use the full amount of soba noodles and definitely added more cucumber and prawns.
