Description

Directions

• SAUCEHeat the oil in a pan over a low-medium heat. Add chopped lemongrass, garlic, onion, ginger and chilli (if using paste, don’t add it in just yet) and sauté until all the ingredients are soft (but don’t let them colour).Add tamari, sugar and chilli paste (if using) and diced pepper. Continue sautéing for another 8-10 minutes, stirring from time to time.Finally add tomato sauce and about 1¼ cup / 300 ml of water and simmer for another 10 minutes.Transfer to a blender (or use a hand blender) and blitz well. Taste and season with fresh lime juice.STIR-FRYBoil a pot of water for the noodles. Heat up 2 tbsp of frying oil in a wok until smoking.Stir-fry all the vegetables in the order I’ve listed them in the ingredients’ list until cooked but still crunchy.Cook the noodles according to packet instructions. Drain and, if using buckwheat noodles, you may want to give them a good rinse in a bowl of cold water (details explained here) to get rid of excess starch and prevent them from clumping together.Divide noodles, stir-fried vegetables and sauce between two bowls. Garnish with crushed toasted cashews and spring onions.
