Sweet Potato Noodle Salad With Sriracha Lime Peanut Sauce Food

THAI PEANUT SWEET POTATO NOODLES WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place the sweet potato noodles on a large baking sheet and bake "naked" until slightly crispy and yielding, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, rice wine vinegar, ginger, sesame oil, garlic and fish sauce. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. If it's too thick, add up to 1/4 cup warm water.
• Season the shrimp with the chile lime seasoning and some salt and pepper. Place the shrimp on top of the par-cooked noodles. Roast until the shrimp turn opaque, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Toss half of the peanut sauce with the warm sweet potato noodles straight from the oven. Transfer to a large serving platter. Top with the shrimp, crushed peanuts, scallions and fresh mint and serve with more peanut sauce alongside.

SRIRACHA & LIME POTATO SALAD

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large pan of cold salted water. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15-18 mins until tender. Drain and leave to cool completely.
• Whisk the mayonnaise with the soured cream, sriracha, lime zest and juice, the honey, half the spring onions, most of the coriander and some seasoning.
• Toss the cooled potatoes with the sriracha-mayonnaise mixture until all the potatoes are coated. Tip into a serving bowl and scatter over the remaining spring onions, the rest of the coriander and chilli flakes, if you like.

SWEET POTATO NOODLE SALAD WITH SRIRACHA LIME PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet on medium heat and add the spiralized sweet potato and chickpeas. Stir to coat in the oil and cook until the potato softens to the consistency of noodles. They should be soft and malleable, not mushy. Remove from the pan and put in a large bowl and refrigerate while you make the sauce.

COLD NOODLE SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add the soba, stir to prevent sticking, and cook according to package instructions until just tender. Rinse under cold water until the noodles are completely cold.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, maple syrup, lime juice, sesame oil, chile oil or hot sauce, and garlic. Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and whisk until the sauce is a pourable consistency. Taste and add more chile oil or hot sauce as desired; set aside.
• Cut the zucchini or cucumber and radishes into 1/8-inch thick slices, then cut into thin matchsticks. Slice the peppers into 1/8-inch pieces. Place them all in a large bowl.
• Loosen the soba noodles by running them under some water, then allow to drain again. Add them to the vegetables, add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil and toss to combine.
• When you are ready to serve, drizzle with spicy peanut sauce and top with peanuts, scallions and cilantro. Serve immediately, with lime wedges alongside.
