  1. PEANUT POWER

    Boil the kettle for step 2. Place the peanuts in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.

  2. SLIPPERY SMOOTH NOODLES

    Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Give them a stir and cover with a plate. Set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and glassy. In the final 2 minutes, stir in the edamame beans. Drain on completion, return to the bowl, and toss through some oil to prevent sticking. Replace the plate and set aside to keep warm until serving.

  3. MAKE THE STICKY BBQ LENTILS

    Place a pot over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the chopped chilli to taste, the grated garlic, and the grated ginger. Sauté for another minute until fragrant. Stir through the drained lentils and the hoisin sauce and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and cook for 2-3 minutes until coated and sticky, shifting occasionally. On completion, add some lime juice and seasoning to taste. Remove from the heat, cover to keep warm, and set aside until serving.

  4. SAUTÉ THE SLAW

    Return the pan to a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the cabbage and carrot for 2-3 minutes until slightly wilted but still crunchy, tossing occasionally. Remove from the heat on completion and season to taste.

  5. WHAT A BEAUT!

    Make a bed of edamame noodles, top with the sautéed slaw, and smother in the Korean BBQ lentils. Garnish with the chopped, toasted peanuts, the coriander leaves, and some lime zest. Serve with a lime wedge on the side. Gorgeous, Chef!
