2. Chop the cucumber finely and add to the bowl; toss to coat the prawns and cucumber in the dressing.

3. Put the ready-cooked fine rice noodles into a heatproof bowl and pour over enough boiling water from the kettle to cover them. Leave for two minutes.

4. Meanwhile, break one Little Gem lettuce into separate leaves, wash well and drain in the colander; then arrange on two plates.

5. Drain the noodles thoroughly in the colander. Return them to the bowl they were in and add the sesame oil, soy sauce and remaining lime juice, tossing them gently to coat them in the dressing.
