  4. Meanwhile make the satay dressing. Finely chop or grate the ginger. Put into a large bowl along with the peanut butter, lime zest, the juice from 1 lime, the remaining tamari and maple syrup. Add 2 tbsp boiling water and mix to a smooth paste. Drain the noodles, return the saucepan and pour over half the dressing. Toss to coat.
