Directions

  1. Step 1 To make the dressing, tip all the ingredients and 4 of the torn lime leaves in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Boil for 1 min, then remove from the heat to infuse.
  2. Step 2 Cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then drain and toss with 3 tbsp of the sesame oil. Leave to cool, tossing occasionally so they don't stick. Set aside.
  3. Step 3 Heat the rest of the oil in a wok and stir-fry the peppers, carrots, ginger and garlic for just 1 min, then set aside. To serve, tip the noodles into a bowl and drain over the dressing. Finely shred the remaining lime leaves and toss in with all the other ingredients, setting aside a small handful of coriander leaves. Taste the noodles, adding a splash more vinegar, soy or sesame oil to suit your taste. Pile the noodles onto a platter or into a large bowl. Scatter over the rest of the coriander and serve.
