Two servings of veggie vermicelli and chilli dressing

200g rice vermicelli noodles
2 carrots
finely shredded
½ small bunch of cucumber
peeled into ribbons using a vegetable peeler
150g sugar snap peas
halved at an angle
½ small bunch of coriander
finely chopped
2 tbsp unsalted peanuts
toasted and roughly chopped

For the dressing

3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp rice vinegar
½ tsp honey
thumb-sized piece of ginger
peeled and grated
2 small garlic cloves
grated
1 red chilli

Method

step 1
Put the noodles in a heatproof bowl and cover with boiled water from the kettle. Leave for 3-5 mins to soften, then drain and plunge the noodles into a bowl of cold water to prevent them drying out. Set aside.
step 2
Whisk all the dressing ingredients with 2 tsp cold water in a small bowl and season lightly. Put the carrots, cucumber ribbons, sugar snap peas and half the coriander in a bowl, then toss with half the dressing.
step 3
Drain the noodles well, then toss with the vegetables. Divide between two plates, then top with the rest of the coriander and the peanuts. Serve with the remaining dressing on the side for drizzling over.
