- Put the noodles into boiling water. Stir, then turn off the heat and leave to soak for 5 minutes. Drain and chop coarsely.
- Put the flour into a bowl and stir in the coconut cream with a wooden spoon, to make a smooth batter. Mix in the chopped noodles, spring onions, macadamias, coriander and seasoning.
- Whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks and then gently fold this into the batter.
- Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan. Make 12 fritters, in batches, using about 2 tablespoons of mixture for each one. Fry until golden brown, turning once. Keep warm.
- To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Take four serving plates and on each, layer three fritters with the dressed peppers and olives in between. Pour over the remaining dressing and serve.
