6-ingredient vegetable noodles

Flavorful
Description

The key to this speedy vegan dish is in the dressing: just three ingredients, but packed with flavour. For the vegetable noodles, you can add more carrots and courgettes, or bulk it out with wheat or soba noodles for a heartier dish.

Ingredients
  • 2 large carrots
  • 2 large courgettes
  • 300g/10½oz dried wheat or soba noodles (optional)
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
  • 3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
Directions
  1. Using a julienne peeler with a serrated edge, cut the carrots and courgettes into noodle-like strips. (Alternatively you can use a spiraliser or a sharp knife to cut the veg into matchsticks.) Set aside.
  2. Heat the noodles in just-boiled water for around 3 minutes, then drain.
  3. Whisk the dressing ingredients together, then add to a wok over a medium–high heat. Add the vegetables and noodles and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, or until just cooked. Serve immediately.
