Method

  1. To make the kimchee, blanch the cabbage in a pan of boiling salted water for 1 minute. Remove with a slotted spoon (reserving the cooking water) and refresh under cold running water; drain well. Set aside on kitchen paper for 2-3 minutes, until completely dry, then cut into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the chilli sauce, sesame oil and fish sauce. Add the chopped cabbage and stir until well coated. Cover and set aside.
  3. Meanwhile, tip the beansprouts and noodles into the reserved boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Drain, refresh under cold water and drain again.
  4. In a large serving bowl, combine the beansprouts, noodles, prawns, beans, spring onions and carrot. Scatter over most of the sesame seeds (reserving 1 tsp to garnish the salad) and toss to combine.
  5. In a bowl, whisk the honey, sesame oil and rice wine vinegar to make a dressing. Pour it over the salad; toss to coat. Scatter over the reserved sesame seeds and serve with the kimchee.
