Served here on soba noodles, this vegan asparagus salad is bursting with Asian flavours, proteins and iron.

Asparagus and peanuts are an unusual combination yet they work together perfectly.

Instructions

Heat some salted water in 2 separate pans.
In a separate bowl, make the dressing by mixing together oils, lemon juice, soy sauce, garlic, sugar and mint.
Chop peanuts and reserve on the side.
When water is boiling, cook asparagus for 3 mins in one of the pan and soba noodles (also for 3-4 mins) in the other pan.
Drain asparagus when cooked. Drain soba noodles separately and rinse them under cold water so they do not stick together.
Serve on two plates sharing soba noodles and asparagus evenly.
Add dressing on top followed by a generous sprinkle of peanuts.
