Lime Dressing

  • 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seed oil

Directions

To make dressing: Place all ingredients in a jar with a screw-­top lid. Shake well to combine. The dressing can be made several hours ahead of time.

Combine chicken, hoisin sauce, pepper and five-spice powder in a re-sealable bag or a small bowl; stir to coat.

Place noodles in a heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water to cover them completely. Leave them to stand for 20 minutes or until they’ve softened. Drain noodles into a sieve and rinse under cold water, ensuring noodles don’t stick together; drain. Place in a medium bowl. Add chopped herbs and 3 tablespoons of dressing; toss to coat.

Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium-­high heat. Add chicken and hoisin sauce. Stir‐fry for 2 to 3 minutes or until hot & sticky.

Combine noodles, chicken, snow peas, bell pepper and onion in a medium bowl. Spoon onto serving plates or a platter. Drizzle with remaining dressing; serve immediately.
