5. Toast the sesame seeds in a small pan over a medium heat for 3 minutes, or until golden.

6. Heat a splash of oil in a large frying pan over high heat, then add the whole prawns and stir-fry for 3 minutes, or until pink all over.

7. Pour in the remaining sauce and continue to cook for a further 2 minutes, or until the prawns are sticky and caramelised and the sauce is thick and glossy, then tip over the noodle salad.

8. Trim and finely slice the spring onions and chilli, and pick the coriander leaves. Scatter everything over the top of the salad, serve with lime wedges for squeezing over and tuck in.
