Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes , peeled and cut into chunks
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 tsp sunflower oil , plus extra for frying
25g dried fine egg noodle
zest and juice half an orange
2 tsp red wine vinegar
2 handfuls spinach leaves
1 avocado , peeled and sliced
half a red onion , finely sliced

Steps:

Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Toss the potato chunks with the cumin, 1 tsp oil and some seasoning. Spread over a baking tray, then roast for 20-25 mins until tender and golden.
Meanwhile, cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then drain. Heat 1cm oil in a wok or deep pan until a piece of noodle dropped in begins to sizzle immediately. Fry the noodles in a couple of batches for 30 secs until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon, then drain well on kitchen paper.
When the potatoes are ready, whisk together the final tsp of oil with the orange zest and juice, red wine vinegar and a little seasoning. Tip the potatoes into a bowl with the spinach, avocado and red onion, drizzle with the dressing, then gently mix - with your hands is easiest. Divide between 2 plates and crumble over the crispy noodles.
