5. Add the blanched vegetables, peppers and spring onions, followed by the honey and sesame oil. Continue frying until the honey begins to caramelise.
6. Add the cooked noodles along with the curry powder. Mix well and season with soy sauce and lime juice. Serve scattered with toasted sesame seeds and chopped coriander.
