Ingredients

  • 200 g Flat Rice Noodles
  • 1 Lime juiced
  • 4 Cloves Garlic finely minced
  • 1 Green Chili minced, remove the seeds if you want the dish less spicy
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons Peanut Butter crunchy or smooth
  • 80 g Mangetout Peas
  • 100 g Spring Onions finely sliced
  • 200 g Green Beans finely sliced
  • 2 Teaspoons Cornflour
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 300 ml Vegetable Stock
  • 1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
  • 80 g Peanuts roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 200c/390f (fan oven).
  • Pour the 80g of roughly chopped peanuts onto a small baking tray. Place into the oven and roast for 8 minutes until golden and crunchy. Reserve until needed.
  • Add the 200g of rice noodles to a mixing bowl and cover with freshly boiled water. Leave to sit for 5 minutes until the noodles are soft and chewy. Drain and reserve.
  • Heat the 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pan over a medium heat. Toss in the 4 minced garlic cloves and minced green chilli. Fry for 2-3 minutes until the garlic takes on a little colour.
  • Add the 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, lime juice, 1 1/2 tablespoons of peanut butter and 2 teaspoons of cornflour to the pan. Stir to combine into a thick sauce.
  • Pour in the 300ml of vegetable stock and bring the pan to the boil. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often until the sauce has become gloopy and thick. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Bring a medium saucepan of water to a vigorous boil. Toss in the 80g of mangetout and 200g of sliced green beans and blanch for 1 minute. Drain the vegetables then add to the peanut butter sauce along with the cooked rice noodles and 100g of sliced spring onions. Toss well to combine.
  • Serve the noodles with the roast peanuts heaped over the top of each dish.
