YOU NEED
1 tablespoon peanut oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
½ tablespoon fresh minced ginger
1 small red chilli, finely sliced
2 large cloves of garlic, peeled and minced
¼ cup soy sauce (or Tamari if you want this to be gluten free)
¼ cup soft brown sugar (or you could use agave instead if you prefer)
¼ cup freshly squeezed lime juice
2 tablespoons peanut butter (I only had smooth but crunchy would be brilliant in this)
200 grams rice noodles
2 cups Chinese cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup spring onion, washed and finely sliced
1 large bunch coriander, washed well, roots finely sliced and leaves roughly chopped
#optional 200 grams tofu (I use Blue Lotus Organic), cut into cubes
½ cup peanuts
handful dried shallots
