Ingredients
- 2 large carrots
- 2 large courgettes
- 300g/10½oz dried wheat or soba noodles (optional)
For the dressing
- 2 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
- 3 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
Method
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.
Heat the noodles in just-boiled water for around 3 minutes, then drain.
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.
