Ingredients

  • 200g mushrooms, 1 sliced
  • 1½ tbsp medium curry powder, plus 1 tsp
  • 2 tbsp sunflower oil
  • 200g dried vermicelli rice noodles (we used Ko-Lee)
  • a large pinch of ground 2 turmeric
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 25g root ginger, peeled and grated
  • ½ tsp chilli flakes
  • 1 x 600g pack sweet and crunchy stir-fry veg
  • 3-5 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • juice of 1 large lime
  • ½ 30g pack coriander, roughly chopped
  • 100g salted peanuts, chopped

Step by step

  1. Toss the mushrooms with 11⁄2 tablespoons of the curry powder, 1 tablespoon of oil and some seasoning in a bowl, then set aside. Put the noodles in a large bowl and cover with a kettleful of just-boiled water, plus a pinch of salt. Set aside for 5 minutes then drain well, return to the bowl and toss with the remaining curry powder and the turmeric.
  2. Heat a large wok or frying pan and, when very hot, stir-fry the mushrooms for 3 minutes until browned, then add the garlic, ginger and chilli flakes and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Remove to a plate. Heat the rest of the oil then add the mixed veg and stir-fry for a further 2-3 minutes until just tender. Add the noodles and the mushrooms, toss together with tongs and stir-fry for a further minute to reheat.
  3. Mix 3 tablespoons of soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar and lime juice together in a small bowl then toss through the noodles with half the coriander and most of the peanuts. Taste and see if it needs more soy sauce. Divide between 4 bowls and top with the remaining coriander and the peanuts.
    Tip
    Make it gluten free
    Use tamari instead of soy sauce
