Method

1. Mush the garlic and ginger together until it’s paste-like. In a large bowl, mix with the peanut butter. Mix in the soy sauce, lime juice and zest and honey. Taste and adjust flavours if you wish.

2. Cook your noodles. Drain. Rinse noodles with cold water. Gloss with oil.

3. Pile the warm oil glossed noodles into the bowl with the peanut butter sauce and gently fold through - using your hands and fingers works best. Messy but yum!

4. Scatter the prepped veggies on top and gently fold them through.

5. Pile on to plates. Finish with a scattering of herbs and a touch of chilli, if you like. Delicious served in lettuce leaves, but also scrummy on their own. They're also a great carrier for shreds of leftover meat (roast chicken or pork work a treat).
