Quick idea:
Give the noodles some added zing with a zesty Asian dressing. Mix 60 ml lime juice, 30 ml fish sauce, 60 ml water, 10 ml brown sugar with 1 crushed garlic clove, 5 ml chopped chilli and a handful of chopped coriander in a small bowl and decant into a small lockable bag or container. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Make a lovely noodle salad:
Keep a handful of mixed herbs like coriander, mint and basil leaves in a zip lock bag. Pack the noodles, dressing and herb leaves separate until lunchtime and quickly combine for a satisfying lunch treat.
