Method
-
Cook the noodles to the packet instructions, throwing the broccoli in for the last 3 minutes. Drain, keeping a mugful of the water.
About 8 minutes
-
Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, garlic, ginger, chilli and maple syrup together with 4 tablespoons of the noodle water until it is a smooth, pourable sauce.
About 3 minutes
-
Toss everything together, loosening with more of the noodle water until the sauce coats rather than clings. Top with spring onions and sesame seeds.
