Ingredients

• Broccoli
• 2 cloves garlic
• A small piece of ginger
• Olive oil
• Chilli (optional)
• Salt
• Pepper
• Noodles (I use soba noodles, but any work!)

    For the satay sauce:

• 3 tbsp peanut butter - crunchy or smooth
• 3 tbsp lemon juice (juice from 1/2 a small lemon)
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp honey
• Chilli flakes (optional)

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius.
2. Cut the broccoli into thin slices. Put it on a baking tray.
3. Chop garlic, ginger, and chilli into small pieces. Add to the broccoli.
4. Add oil, salt and pepper to the tray.
5. Roast it in the oven for 20-30 minutes, until the broccoli is slightly brown.
   
6. Now, make the sauce. Mix peanut butter, lemon juice, soy sauce, and honey. Add boiling water slowly, until you can pour the sauce. It is still thick.
7. Cook the noodles in boiling water until they are soft.
8. Put the noodles and cooked broccoli on a plate. Pour the peanut sauce over the top.
9. Enjoy!
