Crunchy Vegetable Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce

This is based on Nigella's recipe for peanut sesame noodles in Nigella Express. It's a fab lunch dish which is filling, reasonably healthy and quick to prepare.

For 2 generous lunch portions you need:
2 blocks medium egg noodles (use rice noodles or soba noodles for a vegan version)
assorted raw veggies - I used red cabbage, grated carrot, spring onions, raw cauliflower, spring onions
1 chilli, finely chopped
handful fresh mint, chopped
juice 1 lime

Sauce:
4 tbsp peanut butter
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp soya sauce
2 tbsp pad thai sauce (or use sweet chilli sauce)
150ml water

Heat the sauce ingredients gently till combined. Meanwhile finely shred the veggies and cook the noodles. Place everything in a large mixing bowl and mix well. Pack into tubs and stun and amaze your work colleagues with such a delicious lunch :)
