  1. TOASTED SESAME

    Preheat the oven to 220°C. Place the sesame seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-3 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  2. COOK THE VERMICELLI

    Boil the kettle. Place the noodles in a bowl and submerge in boiling water. Season and set aside to rehydrate, 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse in cold water. Set aside.

  3. GROOVY GREEN BEANS

    Return the pan to medium-high heat with a splash of water. When starting to bubble, simmer the halved green beans until al dente, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan, season, and add to the bowl of noodles.

  4. SATAY CHICKEN

    Wipe down the pan and return it to high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. When hot, fry the chicken until golden but not cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a lightly greased baking tray. Return the pan to low-medium heat with another drizzle of oil. When hot, whisk in the spicy peanut butter, the tamari, the honey, and ½ of the coconut cream until combined. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes (whisking regularly). Stir in the juice of 2 lime wedges (or to taste) and remove from the heat. Spoon ¼ of the sauce over the chicken and pop into the hot oven until cooked through and lightly charred, 2-3 minutes.

  5. SUPERB SLAW

    For the dressing, loosen the remaining satay sauce by whisking in the rest of the coconut cream. If too thick, gradually add water until drizzling consistency. To the bowl of noodles and beans, add the shredded cabbage and carrot matchsticks. Toss through the dressing, ¾ of the toasted seeds, seasoning, and ¾ of the torn basil.

  6. FRESH FEAST

    Plate up the noodle salad and top with the peanut satay chicken. Garnish with the remaining seeds and basil, and serve with a lime wedge on the side. You did it, Chef!
