Keep your meal light and healthy with this Cold Asian Noodle Salad. Ready in less than 30 minutes and absolutely addictive!
Are kids back to school now? It’s hard to tell if they really are. One thing I noticed recently is traffic gets so much worse in the morning, even at 6am. Anyways… Meet my happy sunshine bowls!
Is it a brunch bowl? A lunch combo? A dinner mash-up? Not sure what you want to call this one, but I’ve been enjoying it lately.
People say living with no kid’s means having a stress-free life.. Which I have to disagree. Everyone has their own stress portion. I know I don’t need to deal with cleaning up after toys, picking up dirty laundry, or preparing kids activities. However I can relate to prepping 30 minutes meals or less. This is one of my go-to recipes during a crunch. This is so easy and simple to make.
And when I say simple, it does mean simple.
Look at how colorful and fresh it is. You can pretty much add all your favorite things into this bowl like what I have here. The best is using fresh ingredients. I am using soba for this recipe which goes very well with the rest of the ingredients.
But for the main ingredients, tuna, I am using Safe Catch Tuna which I really enjoy so much and has the lowest mercury of any brand.
And oh, they just came out with NEW SEASONED ELITE TUNA which I use for this recipe. In case you missed it, I also used Safe Catch Tuna and made these Tuna Croissant and Avocado Tuna Bruschetta.

I love asian and oriental themed recipes
Oh wow- I wouldn’t have thought of this combination of ingredients! How yummy!
wow this looks amazing!! I may switch the tuna with chicken do you think that would still work? I dont normally eat fish lol!
Hi Glenny. You can try using ham and add cucumbers for extra crunchiness. That tastes so good too! 🙂
This would be perfect to make the night before and take for lunch at work! Thanks for sharing it look amazing!
