Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and cook the dried noodles according to the packet instructions, then drain, reserving some of the cooking water.

Step 2

Steam the mangetout in a steamer for 2–3 minutes until cooked but still crunchy (or drop them in with the noodles for 2 minutes). Heat the prawns for 1 minute in the same way (don't overcook them).

Step 3

In a large frying pan, add the dark soy, rice wine vinegar, sriracha, sesame oil, peanut butter, honey, grated garlic, grated ginger and chopped red chilli. Add a little water from the reserved noodle water. Heat until it thickens and stir to combine.

Step 4

Add the cooked noodles to the peanut sauce along with the warmed prawns, mangetout and sliced spring onions, then toss to combine.

Step 5

Serve with the lime wedges or transfer to an airtight container, add the lime wedges, and then store in the fridge for 3–4 days.
