Method

step 1

Whisk together the vinegar, soy, tahini, ginger, garlic, honey and fish sauce in a small bowl. Continue whisking, slowly streaming in the sesame oil until emulsified. Season to taste and set aside.
step 2

Cook the noodles following pack instructions. Drain in a sieve and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well again and put in a large bowl along with the chicken, cabbage, cucumber, coriander, basil, half the sesame seeds and half of the dressing. Toss together to coat.
step 3

Divide the salad between plates or containers. Drizzle with the remaining dressing, then scatter over the spring onions and remaining sesame seeds. Serve or keep chilled for up to 24 hours until ready to eat.
