These vibrant lime noodles with vegetables, basil, and sesame offer a refreshing alternative to traditional stir-fry dishes. The recipe combines the zesty brightness of citrus with a rich, aromatic herb paste made from fresh Thai basil and mint. By glazing the rice noodles in a sweet lime syrup and butter, you create a silky, luxurious texture that perfectly balances the crunch of julienned carrots, parsnips, and broccoli. It is a dish that celebrates fresh produce and bold, herbaceous flavours.

This versatile vegetarian meal is ideal for a quick midweek dinner or a light weekend lunch. The herb paste can even be prepared up to two days in advance, making the final assembly incredibly swift. Packed with nutrients from the seasonal vegetables and healthy fats from the sesame seeds, it is a wholesome and comforting bowl of food that is naturally gluten-free if using traditional rice noodles.
