Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cook the noodles in plenty of boiling salted water with 1 tablespoon of oil for about 6-7 minutes. Drain and refresh. Meanwhile, wash and trim the vegetables and coriander leaves. Slice the spring onions into diagonal, thin pieces. Cut the chili peppers into wafer-thin slices, removing the seeds. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, cut into 5 cm pieces, and then cut these into very narrow sticks. For the sauce, mix the peanut butter with the lemon juice, a little sugar, and about 150 ml of water, and season with salt and pepper. Toss the noodles with the sauce and stir in the spring onions and chili slices. Heat until hot, stirring occasionally. Divide the noodles among plates. Arrange the cucumber sticks around the noodles. Serve sprinkled with the roasted peanuts and coriander leaves.
