Instructions

Prep the Veg
1

a) Boil a full kettle.

b) Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Cut the Tenderstem® broccoli into thirds. Thinly slice the red chilli.

c) Crush the peanuts in the unopened sachet using a rolling pin.

Cook the Noodles
2

a) Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring to a boil.

b) Add the noodles and cook until tender, 4 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve and run under cold water to stop them sticking together.

d) Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat.

Stir-Fry the Veg
3

a) Once hot, add the mushrooms and broccoli to the pan. Season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-6 mins.

b) Stir in the garlic and the coleslaw mix. Fry for 1 min.

Add the Flavour
4

a) Stir the hoisin, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey and water for the sauce (see pantry for both amounts) into the frying pan.

b) Bring the sauce to the boil, then simmer until slightly thickened, 3-4 mins. 

Finishing Touches
5

a) Toss the cooked noodles into the sauce until coated and piping hot, 1 min.

b) Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add a splash of water if the sauce is a little too thick.

Serve
6

a) Share the veggie noodles between your bowls.

b) Scatter over the sliced chilli (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and peanuts to finish.

Enjoy!
