Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Les Huynh loves fresh coriander noodles for their flavour and unusual colour. If you can't find them use fresh spinach noodles instead.

1 Chinese roasted duck, boned and sliced

Dressing
3 tablespoons of light soy sauce
2 tablespoons of black vinegar
1 tablespoon shaved palm sugar
1/ 4 teaspoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon mirin (optional)

Salad
200g fresh coriander (cilantro) noodles or other green noodles
1 handful mint leaves
1 handful coriander leaves
2 spring onions, finely julienned

To serve

1 tablespoon roasted shredded coconut

To make the dressing, combine all the dressing ingredients and stir until the sugar dissolves.

Blanch the coriander noodles in boiling water for 1 minute, then refresh under cold water. Combine with the remaining salad ingredients and moisten with the dressing.

To serve, arrange the salad in a bowl, then top with slices of duck and a sprinkling of roasted shredded coconut and sesame seeds.
