  6. Once the veg has cooked down, add the noodles and enough sauce to barely coat them.

  7. Add the toasted peanuts and some chopped coriander and toss all together, mixing well. Cook for a further 2 minutes.

  8. Taste for seasoning, then serve with a garnish of some toasted peanuts, some raw beansprouts and a wedge of lime.
