Method
Start by prepping and soaking the red onions and getting your noodles on, following the instructions on the pack for cooking time. Drain, rinse in cold water and set aside
Then prep the carrot, cucumber, spring onions, mango and peanuts. Set aside whilst you make the dressing with the lime, soy, honey and sriracha, all in a small bowl and whisked into a sauce. Taste and adjust to your liking with more sweet (honey) or sour (lime juice)
Finally, assemble the salad with the noodles as the base and everything else on top including a generous portion of spider crab! Serve with the lime slices, peanuts and mint leaves scattered over and the dressing on the side
