Use dried green tea (chai) noodles or soba (buckwheat) noodles to bring a little magic to Jill Dupleix's sesame-scented meal of seafood and greens. Nutty brown rice would also work.

270g green tea noodles or soba noodles
1 bunch broccolini, sliced on the diagonal
2 teaspoons sunflower oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons tamari
1 tablespoon mirin
12 cooked prawns, deveined, peeled (tails intact)
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted

Method

1.

Cook the noodles according to the packet instructions. Drain and refresh under cold water. Set aside.
2.

Meanwhile, blanch the broccolini in a saucepan of boiling, salted water for 2 minutes or until just tender, then drain and refresh. Set aside.
3.

Heat the sunflower oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the noodles, broccolini, sesame oil, tamari and mirin, tossing everything together well for 2 minutes or until warmed through and combined. Remove from the heat, then toss with the prawns and spring onion.
4.

Divide among plates, scatter with sesame seeds and serve.
