Squid and Pork Noodle Salad

This squid and pork noodle salad is a vibrant, high-protein dish that perfectly balances fresh textures with bold, zingy flavours. Drawing inspiration from traditional Thai salads, it combines tender seafood and savoury minced pork with earthy buckwheat noodles. The addition of fresh mint, coriander, and fiery bird's eye chillies creates a fragrant profile that is both refreshing and satisfying, making it an ideal choice for a light yet nutritious dinner.

Packed with lean protein and fresh vegetables like cucumber and celery, this dish is a healthy option for those looking to maintain a balanced diet without sacrificing taste. The contrast between the warm noodles and the crisp, chilled salad topping provides a wonderful sensory experience. Serve it at your next gathering or as a quick weekday meal, finishing with a scattering of crushed peanuts for added crunch and richness.
