Difficulty and servings
Serves 4
Preparation and cooking times
Ready in 25-35 minutes
- Put the beansprouts in a bowl, cover with cold water and leave for 10 minutes, then drain (this crisps them up). Meanwhile cook the pasta in a pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions.
- Tip the pasta into a colander and run under the cold tap, then drain thoroughly. Toss with the carrots, spring onions, cucumber, prawns and beansprouts.
- For the dressing, whisk together the sunflower oil, soy sauce, vinegar, ginger, garlic and honey. Pour over the pasta and lightly toss. Drizzle with a little sesame oil to serve. You can make this up to 4 hours ahead - keep it chilled until ready to serve.
Making cucumber ribbons
To cut cucumber into ribbons, shave off thin strips down the length of an unpeeled cucumber with a vegetable peeler working around the central core of seeds.
