Asian Pasta Salad

We love Asian food, especially Thai food, so we've applied classic flavours from the far East to create a special Asian Pasta Salad. We make this one in bulk and take it to work for a quick weekday lunches.

This salad is delicious – hot or cold – only takes around 15-20 minutes to put together, and even though it's basically just carbs is still feels kinda healthy.

Remember, as with a lot of our dishes, you can add more or less chilli to make sure the end result is suited to your taste buds. We're chilli heads, but not everyone is!
