This is a crunchy, wonderfully satisfying salad that is fab with grilled chicken leftover from yesterday's barbecue. The dressing is sweet and sour, mingling brown sugar with soy sauce and rice vinegar. Fried rice noddles add the crunch.

Auntie Janet's Pasta Sauce or Soup

Recipe by: Lulu

Be the first to review it!

When our children were little my friend gave me this recipe which hides vegetables in the sauce; my children still love it as teenagers. It freezes very well so I am never without a quick meal to hand. It can be used on its own over pasta or with the addition of single cream makes a luxurious soup. A vegetarian version can be made without the bacon.
