Peanut butter is the hero of this satay-inspired dressing and, while fish sauce is certainly a pungent ingredient, don’t be put off – it adds heaps of flavour.

- Preheat the grill to high. Marinate the chicken in the soy, sugar and fish sauce for 5 mins. Thread onto metal skewers with the onions and put on a tray. Discard the marinade.
- Grill for 15 mins, turning every few mins, until the chicken is cooked through and caramelised on all sides.
- Put the noodles in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Leave for 3 mins, until cooked. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a bowl with 5 tbsp water.
- Combine the noodles, chilli, coriander, basil and watercress. Serve on plates with the papaya, chicken and dressing.
