Method
step 1
Put the chicken in a bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk together the garlic, ginger, sesame oil, honey, soy sauce and lime juice. Add a third of this to the chicken and save the rest for the noodles. Mix everything together and chill overnight or for a few hours.
step 2
Bring a saucepan of water to a simmer. Add the mangetout and cook for 1 min, then drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the cooked noodles with the mangetout, carrot, remaining marinade, coriander and sesame seeds.
step 3
Heat the grill to medium. Thread the chicken onto three or four long skewers, put on a flat baking tray and grill for 12 mins, turning the skewers halfway, until cooked. Serve the skewers on top of a platter of the noodles with extra lime wedges for squeezing over.
