Going for a picnic with your friends or family in this great weather. We usually pack juices, sandwiches or junk food etc for some bites. Instead of junk food and chips try this amazing stir fry noodle salad recipe which is my all time favourite.

Tofu is a staple in Japanese cooking, where it is used in salads, noodle dishes and soups, as well as deep-fried. Also known as bean curd, it's high in protein, low in fat and calories, and free from cholesterol. Available in most supermarkets, tofu is made by soaking dried soy beans in water, then they're crushed, the 'milk' is separated off and a coagulant is added so the mixture separates into curds and whey - a bit like making cheese.

It's a perfect picnic snack. Easy to make and pack and does not require any heating. Go ahead and try this new recipe and share it with your friends.
