To make the crispy noodles, lightly toss the noodles in sunflower oil and sesame oil, place onto a baking tray in a single layer and cook in the oven until crisp. Leave to cool.

For the lamb heat a little sunflower oil in a frying pan, seal the lamb on all sides and pop onto an oven tray and cook for about 10 minutes, leave to rest.

For the salad, take a mixing bowl add the peeled and sliced cucumber, radish, red onion and basil leaves, lightly toss. Make the dressing by simply mixing all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over the salad and mix well. Arrange the salad on a serving platter, scatter over the peanuts. Thinly slice the lamb and arrange over the salad. Finally scatter over the crispy noodles and serve.
