Let\u2019s take a quick look at what it takes to make this sweet, spicy, savory salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Add all the sauce ingredients to a blender or food processor.<\/strong> Pulse until smooth then place in the fridge to chill for at least one hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Boil the noodles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Add the bok choy to the pot with the boiling noodles for the last minute. <\/strong>Drain and rinse with cold water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.

Cook the noodles and prepare the veggies, then mix and proportion out into containers. Keep the sauce in a jar in the fridge next to the containers and dress them right before serving. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For leftovers, simply place them in an airtight container and put them in the fridge. I recommend keeping a little extra sauce separate as the noodles will absorb some, so the leftovers may be a little dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Eat make-ahead meals and leftover salad within five days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I often use Asian recipes for my lunches. They bring so much flavor but are usually simple to make and easy to make ahead of time.
