Wash the chives and parsley, pat dry, and cut into rolls or chop. Cut the cress out of the box with scissors. Trim and wash the spring onions and slice them into wafer-thin rings. Peel the garlic. Halve the avocado and remove the pit. Peel the halves and roughly dice the flesh. Finely puree the avocado, half of the herbs, and the spring onions with the orange and lime juice, vinegar, garlic, miso paste, and oil. Transfer to a bowl and season with salt and chili flakes. Mix the noodles and avocado puree and season again to taste. To serve, transfer to a fresh bowl and garnish with the remaining herbs, onion rings, toasted sesame seeds, and sprouts. Tip: You can use lentil sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, or soybean sprouts instead of radish sprouts.
