After the turkey: five favourite Asian noodle recipes, including Asian carbonara

I have a weakness for Asian noodles, and even eat the instant variety when I need a quick meal. These recipes, all published in the past year, take quite a lot more work than instant noodles, but are worth the effort.

1. Satay soup with poached beef and udon noodles

I’ve made this recipe using a traditional Thai mortar and pestle, but it’s a lot easier (and much faster) if you use a powerful high-speed blender.

2. Rice noodles with soy sauce chicken, spring onion sauce and black bean-chilli relish
