Roast duck salad with torn rice noodles

(serves 2)
Super quick meal to put together using plenty of cheat ingredients that are ready made ~ but nonetheless this warm noodle salad is fresh and tasty, with plenty of vegetables and 2 of my favourite Chinese ingredients ~ roast duck and rice noodles!! Can’t believe I didn’t think of doing this earlier!

Prep time: 15 min
Cooking time: 10 min 

Ingredients
¼ to ½ roast duck (depends how much you want!)
200g spinach
4 chinese cabbage leaves
1 carrot, grated
½ punnet cherry tomatoes
500g flat rice noodles
handful of fresh mint, coriander (optional)
fried shallots, to serve

Dressing
2 T sweet chilli sauce
2 T fish sauce
juice of 1 lemon (3-4T)
3-4 tsp castor sugar (or 2 tsp palm sugar)
2 cloves garlic, finely diced

Method
1.     Wash the spinach and Chinese cabbage. Finely slice the Chinese cabbage and set aside in a large salad bowl. Add the grated carrot, cherry tomatoes, and mint.
2.     Combine the sweet chilli sauce, fish sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar and garlic. Adjust to taste – should be sweet, salty and medium-sour.
3.     Take the rice noodles out of the packet and put in a microwave-safe bowl. Lightly dab to remove excess oil, and pull apart gently. Microwave for 2 minutes (until soft), then tear apart into bite-size pieces. Dress with half the sauce.
4.     Place the noodles into the salad bowl and toss the remaining ingredients with the rest of the dressing.
5.     Shred the duck meat into thin slices and spread evenly on top. Sprinkle with fried shallots and serve!
