• Leave at room temperature for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Cook the noodles in a saucepan of boiling water for 4 minutes, or according to the instructions on the packet, until soft. Allow to cool. Snip into shorter lengths.
• Whisk the dressing ingredients until well blended. Combine the noodles, onion, radishes and salad leaves in a large bowl.

• Heat a wok over a medium-high heat, then add the groundnut oil and the Szechuan pepper. Stir for a few seconds to flavour the oil.
