This is my adaptation of a recipe from www.nigella.com , I've kept it for years but I do want to mention where I got the original idea. I love the spicy sweetness of the sauce with the crisp vegetables. It's surprisingly filling as well. A good vegetarian option to bring to a potluck as well.

Ingredients for 4:
400 grams of cooked thin egg noodles
1 red pepper, thin slices
100 g of thinly sliced mangetout
1 medium cucumber, finely chopped
1 spring onion, finely chopped
2 tbsps of roast sesame seeds
1 red chilli, finely chopped

Peanut dressing:
3 tablespoons of smooth peanut butter (unsalted)
4 tablespoons of soy sauce
Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoon of runny honey
1 fat minced garlic clove

1. Mix vegetables in a bowl with the sesame seeds, spring onion and chilli.
2. Mix ingredients for the dressing in a seperate bowl.
3. Pour dressing over vegetables, and mix well.
4. Stir cooked noodles through dressing and vegetables, and make sure everything is covered with the dressing.
5. Let sit for about an hour or longer in a container (preferably overnight) in the refrigerator, so the flavours can develop well.
6. Enjoy, serving suggestion is to serve it with grilled chicken or tofu. Though it stands well on it's own too!
 
Well I’ve started on it!
I used the spice grinder to whizz up the dressing and will leave that overnight for the rawness of the garlic to calm down a bit 👍
Couldn’t resist tinkering so a couple of extras ended up in there but that’s me!
I won’t be doing the rest (noodles etc) until tomoz just because gluten free noodles will go claggy if left overnight.

Thankyou to everyone here who recommended the Cuisinart spice grinder. I love that you get two bowls with lids so I could just put it straight in the fridge 👍

I used ‘Wow butter’ which is truly indistinguishable from real peanut butter and it’s very tasty, I had to stop the youngest eating it!
 
Allergies must be horrible to manage, and you have my total and utter sympathy. The only allergy I manage in my house is prawns - my son is allergic to them.
A gluten allergy must be very frustrating, because you'll find traces of wheat flour in all sorts of things you'd never believe.

True. You get used to it, kinda, sometimes you do want to throw your toys out of the pram, visit a bakery and gorge of freshly baked bread 😂
