150g vermicelli rice noodles
1 garlic clove , finely grated
2 tbsp light soy sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
4 tbsp rice wine vinegar
2 tbsp sesame oil
½ large cucumber
2 carrots , grated
2 skinless poached salmon fillets , flaked
2 tbsp peanuts , roughly chopped, to serve

Steps:

Put the noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water from the kettle. Set aside for 4 mins. Drain and rinse under cold running water, then return to the bowl.
Mix the garlic, soy sauce, sugar, vinegar and sesame oil together in a separate bowl. Lightly smack the cucumber with a rolling pin to split it, then chop into 2cm pieces. Add to the bowl with the dressing and toss everything together.
