Before you start

Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
Pull out a small frying pan, a large bowl, a small bowl, a grater, a sieve & a peeler or julienne peeler

Heat the paste

Heat the small frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the Thai curry paste and cook for 1-2 mins, stirring regularly, until fragrant
Remove from the pan and add to the large bowl. Set aside to cool

Prep & boil

Peel the carrot into ribbons then slice into long, thin strips (use a julienne peeler or spiralizer if you have one)
Thinly slice the pepper. Trim and halve the green beans. Roughly chop the coriander. Zest and halve the lime
Add the noodles and green beans to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and simmer for 3-4 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
Meanwhile, roughly chop the cashews

Dress the crab & build the salad

Add the crab to the small bowl and combine with the lime zest, 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix to combine
To the bowl with the Thai paste, add the juice from half the lime, the honey and 1 tbsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and mix well
Add the pepper, carrot, half the coriander, the cooked noodles and green beans. Toss to coat in the dressing

Plate up

Share the Thai green noodle salad between bowls, topped with the lime crab. Garnish with the remaining coriander, cashews and the remaining lime, cut into wedges
Drizzle over any dressing left in the bowl
