Instructions

1
In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients for the sauce (tahini, tamari, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, syrup and chili). Stir until you get a smooth paste.
2
Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add the rice noodles and cook them according to the package instructions (usually 3–5 minutes).
3
During the last 2 minutes of cooking the noodles, add the broccoli florets to the pot. This will keep the broccoli crisp (al dente) and vibrantly green.
4
Before draining the noodles and broccoli, reserve 2 tablespoons of the hot water and stir it into the sesame sauce to make it more fluid and creamy.
5
Drain the noodles and broccoli and return them to the pot or a larger pan. Pour over the prepared sauce and gently mix so that all the noodles are evenly coated.
6
Serve in bowls, sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced spring onion.

Nutritional benefits
