RAW VEGETABLE YAM

  • Soak the noodles in boiling water for 3 minutes, or according to the packet instructions.
  • Drain well and snip with scissors into shorter lengths. Add them to the vegetables.
  • To make the yam, put the chopped chillies in a pan and add the soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
