  • 2 wholewheat noodle nests
  • 2 eggs
  • Handful of cashew nuts
  • 1 ½ tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 inch ginger, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, finely diced
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 100g pack choi
  • 2 carrots, peeled into long ribbons
  • 80g mushrooms, quartered
  • 150g kimchi
  • 1 lime, juiced

  • Boil the noodle nests in water over a high heat. This won’t take long so keep an eye on them. Once cooked, drain the noodles and set aside.
  • Gently place eggs into a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 5 minutes before removing and putting in a bowl of cold water to stop them cooking further.
  • Lay the cashew nuts in a small oven proof dish and roast in the oven (no oil) until starting to turn golden brown. Take care not to burn them!
  • Prepare the sauce by mixing the soy sauce, ginger, garlic and honey in a small bowl.
  • Heat a large flying pan over a high heat and drizzle in the sesame oil. Once hot, add the pak choi, carrot and mushrooms and fry until slightly softened.
  • Next, add the noodles and sauce mixture to the frying pan and continue to cook until everything is combined.
  • Divide the veggie noodles between two plates and garnish with the roasted cashew nuts, some kimchi, a boiled egg and a squeeze of lime.
