Ingredients

  • 100g dried wholewheat noodles

  • 2 tsp groundnut oil

  • 1 red pepper, cut into fine strips

  • ½ large courgette, cut into matchsticks

  • 50g frozen shelled edamame beans

  • 25g beansprouts

  • 1 carrot, peeled and cut into matchsticks

  • handful baby spinach

  • 2-4 tbsp crispy onions from a tub

  • 2 tbsp roughly chopped coriander

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil

  • 2 tbsp Yuzu juice (or 2 limes, juiced)

  • 1 garlic clove, finely chopped

  • 1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped

  • 1 tsp grated ginger

Method

  1. Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the noodles and cook for 3-5 mins or until tender. Drain and leave to cool.

  2. Place a large non-stick pan (or wok) over a medium-high heat and add the groundnut oil. When hot, add the red pepper and cook for 2-3 mins until slightly softened. Add the courgette and edamame, and cook for a further 1-2 mins. Remove from the heat, transfer to a bowl and allow to cool.

  3. Whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, or 2 jars if taking to work, then season.

  4. Divide the noodles between 2 jars or plastic containers and top with the cooled vegetables, beansprouts, carrot, spinach, crispy onions and coriander. Add the dressing just before eating.
