Before you start

  • 1 large saucepan
  • 1 large non stick frying pan

Start prepping

  • Peel and thinly slice the onions, and thinly slice the mushrooms. Halve the carrots lengthways and slice into thin half-moons.
  • Finely dice the chillies (deseed for less heat).
  • Finely chop the coriander, and halve the mangetout lengthways.

Create a stir!

  • Spritz a large non-stick frying pan with cooking spray and put it over a medium-high heat. Tip in the onions, mushrooms, carrots and chillies (to taste) and fry for 5 mins.
  • Squeeze in the ginger & garlic paste, lemongrass and gochujang and cook for 2 mins.

Simmer the noodles

  • Meanwhile, cook the noodles in boiling water for 3-4 mins, then drain and rinse.

Bring everything together

  • Pour 150ml boiled water (250ml for 4 portions) into the frying pan, then tip in the mangetout and noodles.
  • Sprinkle in the tamari, stir well and cook for 2 mins.

Add your final flourish

  • Stir half the coriander into the noodles, then sprinkle the rest on top and serve.
