  • 2 teaspoons low-salt soy sauce

Instructions:
  • Place 100g of fine rice noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water to rehydrate. In a separate bowl, mix the juice from 1 x 227g tin of pineapple chunks with 2 heaped teaspoons of cornflour, 1 tablespoon of cider vinegar, 2 teaspoons low-salt soy sauce, and 4 tablespoons of water. Set aside. Toast 2 teaspoons of sesame seeds in a hot wok until lightly golden, then transfer to a bowl. Add pineapple chunks, 30g chopped cashew nuts, and 4 sliced spring onions to the wok. Once charred, add 2 cloves of garlic, 2cm ginger, and 1 sliced red chili, followed by 200g sliced sugar snaps and 200g sprouts. Pour in 1 tablespoon of groundnut oil, toss for 30 seconds, then add the sauce. Boil for a minute to thicken, season to taste, and serve over drained noodles. Deglaze the pan with boiling water, scraping up any sticky bits, then pour the sauce over the stir-fry. Top with delicate sprouts, toasted sesame seeds, and lime wedges for squeezing over before serving.
