Serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp Meridian peanut butter
• 1 tbsp soy or Meridian tamari sauce
• 1 tbsp palm sugar
• 1-2 red chillies, finely diced
• 200ml hot vegetable stock
• 2 tbsp nut oil
• 1 banana shallot, finely sliced

Method

1. In a bowl, combine the Meridian Peanut Butter, soy, palm sugar, chillies and hot stock. Stir to make a smooth sauce then set aside.
2. In a large frying pan or wok, heat the oil until smoking hot. Cook the shallots, garlic and all the vegetables, apart from the chard, stirring continuously for 5 minutes until everything starts to soften.
3. Add in the noodles and chard and tip over half of the peanut butter mixture, stir well to coat everything and heat through.
4. Divide between four bowls, squeeze over some lime juice and drizzle with the remaining dressing.
