GRILL THE BABY MARROW & Lime
Boil the kettle for the noodles. Place a pan or skillet over a high heat. Lightly coat the baby marrow halves in oil. When the pan is hot, grill the baby marrow (cut-side down first) for 3-4 minutes until charred, flipping halfway. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside in a bowl. When the baby marrow is cool enough to handle, cut into bite-size chunks. Immediately return the pan to the heat. Place one Lime half in the hot pan, cut-side down, and grill for 1 minute until charred. Remove from the pan and set aside for serving. Set the other half aside for another meal.
GLASSY RICE NOODLES
Using a shallow bowl, submerge the noodles in boiling water and add a pinch of salt. Cover with a plate and set aside to soak for 6-8 minutes until cooked through and glassy. Taste to test and drain on completion. Toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
TOAST THE CASHEWS
Place the cashews in a large, clean 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. Keep the pan on the stove over a medium heat.
CABBAGE & EDAMAME
Pour a drizzle of oil into the pan. When hot, fry the cabbage and edamame beans for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from the pan and set aside in the bowl with the baby marrow. Return the pan to the stove for the next step.
COOK THE TANGY SAUCE
Reduce the heat to low and add another drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the grated Ginger and Garlic and the chopped Chilli for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the Sweet & Sour sauce, squeeze in some charred lime juice to taste, and cook for another minute. Add the cooked baby marrow, cabbage, and edamame beans to the pan and heat through for another 1-2 minutes.
DISH UP
Make a bed of noodles in a deep bowl, cover with the stir-fried veggies, and spoon over some sauce. Top with the toasted cashews, chopped fresh mint, and a squeeze of some charred Lime. Tuck in!
