Sesame Peanut Noodles

Nigella's recipe from Nigella Express. I can't believe I haven't made these before. I absolutely loved the peanut dressing, I love anything with peanut butter actually. A great idea to make a large quantity and take for a healthy lunch box. I'd say any vegetables would work, carrots, sweetcorn or green beans, whatever you happen to have to hand.  We had this as a very satisfying evening meal, with leftovers for lunch the next day. It was incredibly filling. The noodles would be a great accompaniment to chicken and fish with a Thai twist too.
