Winged kelp salad with noodles and prawns

prawn noodle salad with winged kelp on a plate
This noodle salad is mouthwateringly fresh, easy to prepare and full of nutritional goodness. Glass noodles are gluten free, and you can make the whole dish coeliac-friendly if you substitute soy sauce for the gluten-free version, which is widely available in most supermarkets. It doesn’t take long to prepare this dish, but if you want to save even more time you can use pre-cooked prawns instead of raw. However, the sweetness and crunchiness of freshly cooked prawns is worth the extra effort, in our opinion! This sweetness, combined with the saltiness of the winged kelp, makes each mouthful a fully-rounded flavour bomb. This dish is perfect for light lunches or summery evening meals.
