Method

Step 1

Cook the noodles in boiling, salted water for 4 minutes until tender. Drain and rinse well in cold water, then drain again and toss with the sesame oil in the sieve and leave.
Step 2

Blanch the Tenderstem® for 2-3 minutes until it’s vibrant green and still has bite, adding the edamame for the last 30 seconds. Refresh in cold water, then drain well.
Step 3

Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and lime juice with a splash of boiling water to make a dressing.
Step 4

Cut the Tenderstem® into bite-sized pieces and add to a bowl with the noodles, edamame, spring onions, coriander and the dressing. Toss well. Serve scattered with the chopped peanuts, with lime wedges to squeeze over.
