Easy Asian Noodle Salad

Easy Asian Noodle Salad  -  This noodle salad uses just a few easy ingredients and comes together in minutes.

This recipe was created as an entry into a contest being held by JSL Foods.  I received free product for the purpose of creating a recipe.  As always, all opinions and words are my own.

Everyone who knows me, knows I love Asian flavors.  So, when I was approached to compete in the Fortune Asian Noodle Blogger Recipe Challenge, how the heck could I say no?

When I signed up for the contest, I had my choice of making either a stir-fry recipe or a cold noodle salad type recipe.  I chose the cold noodle salad because I love a dish that travels well.  This dish I created could be taken to work for lunch or brought to a friends house without the worry of it spoiling in the car.  It can be room temperature or cold!

The Fortune noodles I used were the Yakisoba Stir Fry Noodle (Hot & Spicy).  I love a little spice, especially paired with Asian flavors.  Don't worry, this isn't too hot, especially because I've added a few ingredients that help balance out the heat.

Okay, so to keep things pretty easy, I used a few shortcuts.  What kind of shortcuts you ask.  For starters, I used the microwave instructions on the noodles.  Easy and quick.  Also, I used a bag of broccoli slaw instead of cutting up my own veggies.  The only veggie I prepped myself was the cucumber. 

Let's talk about the egg.  People either love a runny egg on things or hate the idea of it.  I am in the camp of "everything is better with a runny egg".  I'll admit, I tried for a 6 minute egg here.  I wanted it to be of a soft boiled but then I let it sit without cooling it quick enough, and it became closer to hard boiled.  You can do either one you prefer.  I will be making this again soon with a runny egg and will let you know how it comes out.  I predict it will great!

Okay, so now that you've seen my beautiful noodle salad, you're wondering where you can buy these noodles?  No worries, they're easily found at Hannaford’s, Shop Rite, Big Y, Roche Bros and Shaw’s.
