Ingredients

Salad:

• 200g soba noodles
• 16- large prawns
• 1 cup Pacific Harvest Sea Lettuce Flakes*
• 1 tbsp Pacific Harvest Dulse Flakes*
• 3 spring onions
• 1 red pepper
• 100g needle mushrooms or any readily available mushroom (thinly sliced if not using needle mushrooms)

Dressing:

• 2 tsp sesame oil
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• handful fresh parsley leaves
• 1 tsp Pacific Harvest Lemon Kelp
• handful fresh coriander leaves
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• salt & pepper to taste

Directions

1. Half fill a medium size pan with water then bring to the boil.
2. Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook for 4-6 minutes or until al dente, on a low simmer. Before draining, sprinkle Sea Lettuce and Dulse Flakes generously.
3. Drain noodles, then run briefly under cold water to cool them and drain again.
4. Thinly slice the red pepper and spring onion and add to the bowl with noodles, Sea Lettuce & Dulse flakes.
5. Briefly fry the mushrooms in a frying pan with a little oil, then add above ingredients.
6. To make the salad dressing, take a large pestle & mortar (or blender) and grind the parsley & coriander leaves. Add the lemon juice, sesame oil and 2 tbsp olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt & pepper and grind further until you get a lovely green paste. Add 2 more tbsp olive oil and grind again. Add the dressing to the bowl with the noodles and toss through to coat all the ingredients. Divide the noodle salad between four serving bowls/plates.
7. In a small bowl add 1 tbsp olive oil & 1 tsp Lemon Kelp seasoning. Coat the prawns with this mixture. In a cast iron or non stick frying pan fry the prawns on each side till pink and just cooked through (approx 1 min each side).
8. Arrange prawns on top of the cold noodle salad and serve.
