This simple black bean noodle salad is a make-ahead lunch that's ready when you are.

Black bean noodles

 1 Black bean spaghetti
 1 Head of broccoli, break into florets
 1 Red pepper, finely sliced or diced
 Some sugar snaps
 1 Clove of garlic, finely chopped or crushed
 2 tsp Soy sauce
 1 tbsp Sesame oil
 2 tsp Sweet chilli sauce
 Optional - finely sliced spring onions
1

Cook the black bean noodles according to the packet instructions.
I've used Aldi Black Bean Spaghetti, a 200g pack to serve four. This needed about 5 minutes in boiling water.

2

Lightly cook the broccoli. You still want it to have a bit of bite to it. I've thrown mine in with the noodles.

3

Once cooked, refresh the noodles and broccoli in cold water. You'll need to run the water over them for a while as you want to cool them down quickly to prevent them overcooking and the broccoli losing its colour.

4

Mix together the sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic and sweet chilli to make the dressing.

5

Combine the noodles, broccoli, sugar snaps, red peppers and dressing in a large bowl. You'll need enough space to mix it all around to coat everything in the dressing.
