If you love a simple stir-fry, try those flavours in a fresh, toss-together noodle bowl.

Here’s how.

  1. 1

    Cook and cool

    Cook the noodles to packet instructions. Drain, rinse briefly under cool water and drain very well.

  2. 2

    Make the dressing

    Whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, ginger and maple syrup in a large bowl.

  3. 3

    Toss generously

    Add the noodles, cucumber, carrot and spring onions. Toss thoroughly so the dressing reaches all the noodles.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Divide between bowls. If making ahead, keep the vegetables and dressing separate until you are ready to eat.

Toasted sesame oil is a seasoning. A little goes a long way.
