Ingredients

110g pasta spirals
55g small broccoli florets
30g mangetout, cut into matchsticks
3 tbsp sunflower oil
½ tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp rice wine vinegar
2 tsp clear honey
2 tsp soy sauce
110g cooked chicken, thinly sliced
30g pumpkin seeds

Method

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, adding the broccoli 2 minutes before the end of the cooking time and then the mangetout 1 minute later.
Drain and immediately rinse well with cold water. Drain well again.
Alternatively you can steam the broccoli and mangetout separately for a few minutes until tender.
Whisk together the oils, vinegar, honey and soy sauce in a large bowl.
Add the pasta and vegetables and toss to coat, then cover and refrigerate until needed.
Just before serving, add the chicken and toss again, then sprinkle over the pumpkin seeds.
