Method

  1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the potato chunks with the cumin, 1 tsp oil and some seasoning. Spread over a baking tray, then roast for 20-25 mins until tender and golden.
  2. Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then drain. Heat 1cm oil in a wok or deep pan until a piece of noodle dropped in begins to sizzle immediately. Fry the noodles in a couple of batches for 30 secs until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, then drain well on kitchen paper.
  3. When the potatoes are ready, whisk together the final tsp of oil with the orange zest and juice, red wine vinegar and a little seasoning. Tip the potatoes into a bowl with the spinach, avocado and red onion, drizzle with the dressing, then gently mix - with your hands is easiest. Divide between 2 plates and crumble over the crispy noodles.

    This was really yummy. The ingredients all complimented each other well. The only thing i changed in the recipe was cooking the onion rather than serving it raw. Very nice.

    Surprisingly tasty, love the orangy tang against the warmth of the cumin.
