Noodelist are delicious instant noodles made from Moroheiya, a super plant that has been used in the kitchen since ancient Egyptian times that contains great amounts of vitamins, minerals and dietary fibers in quantities that surpass most known vegetables and herbs. Founder Thuong Tan has always loved to eat noodles and wanted to close the gap between healthy and tasty by creating a healthier option to standard instant noodles. Drawing inspiration from her Vietnamese Chinese heritage and her mom’s homemade noodle soups, she teamed up with award-winning chef Petteri Luoto to create the bespoke Noodelist flavors Bold & Juicy Shiitake and Lemongrass Vegan Chicken’ish. You can enjoy them as a guilt-free, flavor-packed, nutritious meal that is high in fiber, carotene, calcium, iron, vitamin B, C, and antioxidants in just five minutes. Or you can use them as a base for other dishes. Here Thuong shares recipes for some of her warmer weather favorites.

Refreshing Noodelist Noodle Salad by Maija Lähdesmäki
Ingredients:
Noodelist noodles, your choice of flavor (Shiitake or vegan Chicken’ish)
4-6 mini bok choy, halved
1 package of shimeji (or similar) mushrooms, cleaned
1 package of firm tofu, cubed
A handful of bean sprouts
5-6 radishes, thinly sliced
Juice of two limes
1/4 cup olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon honey dijon mustard
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1/4 cup cilantro, roughly chopped
5-6 scallions, thinly sliced diagonally
Black sesame seeds
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Noodelist noodles, then drain. (Tip: you can save the broth, and have a hot cup of broth later.) Place the noodles in the fridge to cool.
2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil (set aside the remaining oil to use later) in a medium sauté pan over medium heat. Stir fry the mushrooms, tofu, and bok choy for about 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. You can also add the bean sprouts during the last few minutes, if you prefer them cooked.
3. Make the dressing by whisking the juice of two limes (add zest if you want) with the remaining olive oil, honey mustard, and a dash of salt and pepper.
4. Put chilled noodles on a plate, top with stir fried vegetables; add radishes on the side. Then pour the dressing on top of everything. Finally, garnish with cilantro, scallions, and sesame seeds.
