Spicy Mushroom & Broccoli Noodles – Vegetarian

This vegetarian meal is at the top of our favourites list, beside the Prawn and Asparagus Creamy Pasta. I’m not a big fan of spice and it does have quite a kick, but for this meal, I can ignore that and just enjoy. 

If you prefer to add a little meat to your meal it would go very well with chicken or pork.

Serves 2

Ingredients

1 veg stock cube
2 nests medium egg noodles
1 small broccoli – broken into florets
1 tbsp olive oil
250g shiitake or chestnut mushrooms – thinly sliced
1 big clove garlic – finely chopped
½ tsp chilli flakes
4 spring onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp hoisin sauce
handful roasted cashew nuts

Method

1. Bring stock to the boil and add noodles, bring back to the boil and cook for 2 minutes.
2. Add the broccoli and boil for a further 2 minutes. Save 1 cup of the stock and then drain noodles and broccoli.
3. In a large frying pan, add the oil and stir-fry the mushrooms until golden.
4. Add the garlic, chilli and most of the spring onions. Cook for 1 minute.
5. Tip in the noodles and broccoli, splash in 4 – 5 tbsp of the stock and the hoisin sauce.
6. Using tongs, toss together for 1 minute.
7. Serve scattered with the cashew nuts and remaining spring onions.
