Our Favourite Five!
Keep your cool over summer, but still get your fix of delicious Chinese dishes with our five favourite cold Chinese noodle dishes. Though the recipes are not strictly extracted from their respective Chinese regions, these dishes are all inspired by the flavours of the classic cuisine, offering a variation in noodle styles and sauce bases. Most cold noodle dishes are used as a side to meaty mains and even bread main dishes, however, if you want to use one or all of these recipes as your meal staple, go right ahead! We love all of them, so best try them all and let the family decide on which one they want to eat again and again.
