I only recently learned that you can make salads with instant noodles. A friend told me about one of them (with Korean carrots) and assured me that it turned out very tasty. At first I treated this treat with disdain and suspicion, but nevertheless my curiosity got the better of me and I decided to try to cook it. And what do you think, it turned out quite edible and even tasty. After searching a little on the Internet, I found a few more interesting recipes that I will share below. All salads with “Rollton” are prepared simply and quickly; I think these recipes will come in handy during the summer season, when you need to prepare something simple, satisfying and quick.
Salad with organic noodles and Korean carrots
Ingredients:
- Korean carrots
- Pack of uncooked noodles,
- Sausage,
- Cheese,
- Mayonnaise.
Initially, there was no cheese in the recipe, but I decided to add it, in my opinion, it wouldn’t be superfluous. You can take Korean carrots ready-made or cook them yourself.

Let the salad sit for 15 minutes until the vermicelli becomes soft.
Noodle salad with garlic
Ingredients:
- Non-ferrous noodles - 1 pack,
- eggs - 2 pcs.,
- fresh carrots,
- a couple of garlic cloves,
- mayonnaise,
- sour cream.
Chop the noodles, pour into a plate, add 2 tbsp. spoons of sour cream and mayonnaise, then stir and leave for 20 minutes.
Boil the eggs, then grate them. Also grate the carrots. Chop the garlic in any convenient way. Mix all the ingredients with the noodles, add the remaining amount of mayonnaise and serve!
Step-by-step preparation
The first thing to do in the process of preparing Chinese noodle salad is to boil the main ingredient, that is, the vermicelli itself. Usually it cooks for no more than three to five minutes, so it’s better not to go far from the stove so as not to overdo it. It should be lowered into boiling water, the heat should be low, wait for the required period of time and, after draining in a colander, rinse a little with cool water. This is necessary so that the noodles do not stick together into one lump during the cooling process. Next, place the finished ingredient on the table to dry slightly, and in the meantime, divide the broccoli into small florets and boil for several minutes in boiling water. It is important that the cabbage does not lose its bright green color. This will confirm that the beneficial vitamins remained with her and did not go into the water.
Next, place the noodles in a wide bowl and, after pouring soy sauce, mix carefully, preferably with your hands. In a blender bowl, combine sugar, ginger, minced garlic, cayenne pepper and vinegar with oil. Beat at low speed and pour the resulting sauce over the main product, add broccoli to it and mix again. Next, use a sharp knife to chop the red cabbage and bell pepper into thin strips, green onions into small pieces, and grate the carrots using a Korean carrot grater. Add the resulting vegetables to the noodles, add the legumes and mix gently again. Serve the finished salad to the table, if desired, garnish with herbs or slices of fresh cucumbers.

Recipe 1: Rollton salad (step-by-step photos)
This festive and bright salad is prepared from the simplest and most affordable ingredients, which will not affect its taste in any way. The originality of the recipe is given by the components, which can always be changed at your discretion.

Carefully peel the vegetables. Thanks to my husband, I have excellent ceramic knives and a vegetable peeler, which cope with this task in no time. You can see for yourself in the photo how easy this is to do.
Now cut the carrots and onions into cubes. It would be correct if they were the same size, but I chopped the onions much smaller than the carrots.
Sauté vegetables in a frying pan. First, bring the onion to a transparent state, and then continue to simmer it along with the carrots until they are soft. Let them cool a little.
Place half of the peas from the jar in a sieve. All excess water should drain off.
Cool the boiled eggs and cut into small squares.
Take the instant noodles, in my case “Rollton”, out of the bag, and the spices... no, don’t throw them away. We are thrifty housewives, so save it for other dishes. In a bowl, break the vermicelli into pieces. I got them very small, but you try to make the pieces larger.
