Mediterranean Rice Noodles

Ingredients for Mediterranean Rice Noodles

• 1 package King Soba rice noodles

• 2 to 45ml extra-virgin olive oil

• 230g fresh green beans, ends snipped off

• About 10 cherry tomatoes, halved

• 1/4 cup pitted olives

• 8 to 10 fresh basil leaves, torn

How to make Mediterranean Rice Noodles

Cook the rice noodles according to the directions on the package, then run them under cold water, and drain them well. In a medium bowl, toss the noodles with the olive oil.

While the noodles are cooking, bring 950ml salted water to a boil. Have a bowl of ice water ready nearby. Blanch the green beans in the boiling water until they are tender and bright green, about 2 minutes, then remove them from the hot water and immediately submerge them in the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain them, and cut each bean into thirds.

Stir the beans, tomatoes, olives, basil, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper into the bowl of noodles. Adjust the seasonings to taste, and serve.
