CARAMEL-COLOURED CASHEWS
Place a pot that has a lid over a medium heat. When hot, toast the cashews for 3-5 minutes until golden, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pot on completion and set aside. Roughly chop when cool enough to handle.
BALTI CURRY TIME
Keep the pot over the heat and add a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the carrot half-moons for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened, shifting occasionally. Add the grated ginger, three-quarters of the sliced spring onion, and the Balti curry paste to taste. Fry for another minute until fragrant, shifting constantly. Add in the coconut cream, the stock, and 65ml of water. Stir to combine the curry paste with the liquid and bring to the boil. Then, lower the heat and pop on the lid. Allow to simmer for 6-10 minutes until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally.
NUTTY SOY DRESSING
Boil the kettle for step 4. Place the chopped cashews, the soy sauce, and three-quarters of the chopped coriander in a bowl. Squeeze in some lime juice to taste and whisk together. Add a sweetener of choice to taste and set aside for serving.
COOK THE 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.
SPINACH IT UP!
Once the sauce has reduced, stir through the shredded spinach. Replace the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted. On completion, season to taste and remove from the heat.
DISH UP & DEVOUR
Spoon some silky vermicelli noodles into a bowl. Drench in the Balti coconut curry and drizzle over the nutty soy dressing. Garnish with the remaining chopped coriander and sliced spring onion, and serve with a lime wedge on the side. Tuck in, Chef!
